For 2.0 there in not yet and official package to download, so you have to download the repo from https://github.com/elkarte/Elkarte/archive/refs/heads/development.zip then move the contents of the elkarte-development directory to your server directory. Then you should simply be able to point to that location from your browser and the install should start.
Really the only difference between that and an official package is the full download has extra files and directory's that are not needed outside of development.

Did you turn debug mode for the upgrade? Seem like an easy step for things to have stalled on so I'm curious if any additional messages are available.
Also what version of PHP are you running this under?
1.1.b1 is pretty old but the DB should update fine. As for the files, if you did a lot of tinkering your best choice would be the full upgrade path and not trying to install all the patch files. Even if it was a clean 1.1.b1 I would do the full upgrade as who really wants to install 9 patch files LOL
Just a decade : I think 1.0 beta was about 10 1/2 years ago .. between 1.0.0 and 1.1.9 there have been over 20 "official" releases so not a bad pace of getting things fixed or adding a new features here and there.
As for what is best, well there are a lot of options available so its .. what works best for you and your community. I personally don't have much experience with Flarum / Discourse style forums as none of the sites I participate on use them, all are what you would consider traditional style (I guess that would be the term).

I guess my tinkering has made my database really not clean. I can't seem to upgrade it, it always gets stuck at the Executing: "Deprecating admin_info_files table..." (1 of 13) part.
Is there any way to just extract the vital parts of the db to a clean install of Elkarte?

Can we have multicolor option in 2.0? Or had I asked this before. Prefer not to install other theme, just default with this option.
