Fedora OS Upgrades
·126 words·1 min
Just upgraded to Fedora 33 Beta 1 without any issues. I wanted to get the latest Gnome 3.38. Turns out there’s not too much visually different within the scope of my normal usage.
As I always forget the process to upgrade, it is:
- Make sure all current packages are up-to-date (
sudo dnf upgrade --refresh
) and the DNF system upgrade plugin is installed (sudo dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade
). - Run
sudo dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=33
. Setreleasever
to the version you’re trying to get to. - If everything works out well (there’s no issues with downloading or dependancy conflicts etc) you should be prompted to restart. Run
sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot
to restart and trigger the upgrade. - Cross fingers….
The Fedora upgrade documentation is available at DNF system upgrade.
