I run a hybrid of xfce4 and mate, plus k3b and konqueror, on three

yumex, finding things I can delete and others I can add.
I have been doing a fresh install (/home/is on a separate parition, so I
do not reformat it) for 4-5 years now. I use the server install iso and
a kickstart file to do the initial setup then use rex from my primary
computer to make all the changes I want after the initail install and
the computer is rebooted. This includes updating the system and I am
done in about 1.5 HOURS. If I upgrade all computers at the same time the
rex program can be run on all computers at the same time. So updating
more computers does not take any more time.
Using kickstart I put the standard install on then in the %post section
I use dnf to install x11, xfce, libreoffice and any other packages I
want. Also, I do some configuration as well (iptables, resolv.conf, etc).
Kickstart and rex are fabulous and are well worth learning.

It would be well worth the risk to upgrade the whole shebang, two
or three times at least, between installs. But you can't do that with live
media, which seem to be all there is on the download site.
There used to be options like fedup, or yum upgrade as opposed to
yum update. Is there a dnf equivalent? How/Where do I get it??
