Hi I’m relatively new to Linux. There’s talk about updating, say from Fedora 37 to 38.
Is this something that needs to happen manually? If I solely update through the updater software, I’m not getting the whole “38”?
I understand that, of course, I won’t see updates on the installer or I won’t use a new supported partition type unless I install it again.
Apart from that, what’s missing? Some software won’t be updated? The kernel?
Thank you all!
here, I fixed it for ya! =)
dnf check-update
dnf updateinfo
dnf updateinfo list
sudo dnf upgrade
That’s still not how you upgrade from one Fedora version to another. Please try not to provide information you’re unsure about, it’s irresponsible.
This is the documentation: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-new-release/
All I do is dnf upgrade…
That’s fine for installing patches to the same version, and updates to some major software, but you won’t receive all the new features, and since versions are only supported for 13-months you’ll stop receiving updates by then. It’s good to familiarise yourself with the release cycle https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/releases/lifecycle/
