I am just curious why people stay on old versions of Fedora like say
FC30 instead of upgrading to 31?
Upgrading Fedora is a bit like "installing Win10" updates.
That said, I usually wait for a couple of weeks before upgrading,
because new Fedora releases tend to suffer from pretty nasty bugs or
changes, which often get fixed or at least documented in the early
phases after a release.
VETO !!!
I installed (upgraded to) F31 when it was Beta and used it for daily use.
I'm not sure, but I mean I did so with F30.
Mere luck ;)
Seriously, this is a case of YMMV. Throughout the years, I've
experienced all kind upgrades. From entirely flawless to total disaster.
Win10 or general Win up{d,gr}ate is a russian roulette with default 5
(!) bullets.
Exactly. Though Fedora upgrades in general are not as much russian
roulette as MS update, they also carry a non-zero risk.
From my experience, the probability of success s significantly higher a
couple of weeks later after release, when a Fedora release has seen some
"exposure to the wild" and when maintainers had a chance to fix their bugs.
Even while Fedora documents their bugs your comparison is invalide.
My point was the Russian roulette character. Fedora upgrades share the
Russian roulette character with MS-Patch Tuesdays.
