dnf upgrade vs dnf system-upgrade?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I recently (last night) upgraded the oldest of my machines.

Because I was doing this from memory, I decided to do trial-and-error (not a good idea, I know, but it was late and I was lazy).

So, I did:

sudo dnf upgrade --releasever 31

and everything went through fine, including installation on the commandline. There was no interruption because it came up immediately in F31 (was previously F30). This morning, I went back and looked at the notes at https://fedoramagazine.org/upgrading-fedora-31-to-fedora-32/ and realized that I should have used

sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=32

and

sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot

so that is what I did to move the system to F32. This took a long time in coming up, during which the machine was unusable.

So, my question: which of the two approaches is "better"? The latter is swankier while coming up, but is the one with the Windows-type message (Upgrading system -- please do not turn off your computer, or something similar) but if there is no difference, I prefer the first.

Any thoughts?

Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
