It is definitely a good idea to check the system journal. If something wrong is recorded there, there are likely many instances logged to cause hours of unexpected delay. I find it better to use ssh to connect to my RPi than to suffer its slow graphics performance. Time information for a 'dnf upgrade" today on my RPi (that included installation of the 4.14.14-300.fc27 kernel) appears below. After the upgrade, a second run (with nothing to upgrade) takes 18 to 19 seconds of elapsed time. I use a 32GB Samsung EVO memory card in my RPi. This data tells you what I experience, to compare with your own system. ________________________________________________________________________________ [root@rpi3-1 ryniker]# time dnf upgrade Last metadata expiration check: 0:46:01 ago on Wed Jan 24 08:10:39 2018.
