Have a notebook that I had installed Fedora on some time ago.
Have upgraded it via DNF a few times, but this time I actually was watching it
versus just coming back later to find it done.
The clean installation only took about 20 minutes originally, but I've added a
lot of things to it. Showed about 5000 packages.
Download was fine with about 5.3G, and then the upgrade reboot.
It showed 9999 items, with the installation of the new packages, and the
cleanup of the old, and finally the verify complete.
Ended up taking just over 12 hours?
Just wondering why the process took so long.
Is that normal??
Laptops are slow unless you have an SSD. However, that is definitely
excessive. I have upgraded many laptops and generally it takes 3-4
hours. You do have about 50% more packages than I usually have
installed. The funny thing is that with the laptops I worked with, the
oldest laptop was much faster than all the new ones.
