Planning on taking my F22 desktop to F24 soon.

Just want to confirm that trying to skip a
release ist verboten. :(

Love it!!  First three responses are:

 1. Yes, designed to work that way
 2. Not recommended
 3. Better do a fresh install

:)

I think the real concensus is "F22->F24 is probably doable, but not
recommended". The safest way is to back up and do a fresh install.
The next best bet is to:

    F22->F23
    "dnf --refresh upgrade"
    F23->F24

I haven't used the dnf upgrade mechanism to skip a release, but the
old fedup often times had issues doing that. Hence my reticence to
recommend it.

fedup (dnf system-upgrade) is supposed to handle that now.

How odd. I did a straight F22->F24 upgrade using dnf's direct commands. In fact, I tried to go F22->F23 at first. And the network wouldn't let me.

The only problems I had:

1. The graphical interface not loading by default. One of you told me how to fix that.

2. A command called "systraycmd" not found when I tried to load a very old executable--goes back to F10--in fact it's the old pwmanager program.

If anyone can help repair that, I'd appreciate it.
