I've always upgraded manually using dnf system-upgrade. I have a laptop
running F38 belonging to my wife. She got a notification, I presume from
"discover", saying F39 upgrade is available. I've never tried an upgrade
this
way. Just wondering if anyone has tried this upgrade route and what was
their experience?
I've used it for a long time with only once having an issue when
doing a 2 level upgrade, but now do the upgrades each version.
Only things, is to make sure to do the full update before running
upgrade. It prompts you for that at beginning.
Another little thing. If one is using winehq package, one will
eventually need to modify the /etc/yum.repos.d/winehq.repo to
match the new version. Otherwise it will stay with the version
listed in repo file.
But is always best to do a backup of things just in case.
Does take a while to run, so make sure you have good power or
good ups. Downloading part is not a problem, since it can be
redone, but once you do reboot to actually do the upgrade that will
not handle a shutdown or loose of power.
