It also helps, of course, that I also have a laptop running Fedora and I
always upgrade it first. My desktop only gets upgraded after I'm sure
that the laptop's working properly.

Naturally. I wouldn't even consider trying that on a production
machine, or even a workstation in a Linux shop. That's why I made a
point of stating that I'm retired and have the time, so that nobody
would think I was suggesting that trying to recover from a failed
upgrade is the right move for anybody else.
I don't recall if the OP, the person with the problem, said that this
was one-of-two machines. It did not read like that.
As for a 'learning experience? Perhaps. BUT IMHO Joe/Jane User wants a
machine that works not one that needs fixing. Like your car. Or
household appliances. Tools. Etc.
