Hi,
I recently (last night) upgraded the oldest of my machines.
Because I was doing this from memory, I decided to do trial-and-error (not a good idea, I
know, but it was late and I was lazy).
So, I did:
sudo dnf upgrade --releasever 31
and everything went through fine, including installation on the commandline. There was no
interruption because it came up immediately in F31 (was previously F30). This morning, I
went back and looked at the notes at
https://fedoramagazine.org/upgrading-fedora-31-to-fedora-32/ and realized that I should
have used
sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=32
and
sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot
so that is what I did to move the system to F32. This took a long time in coming up,
during which the machine was unusable.
So, my question: which of the two approaches is "better"? The latter is swankier
while coming up, but is the one with the Windows-type message (Upgrading system -- please
do not turn off your computer, or something similar) but if there is no difference, I
prefer the first.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
