This is true, and I know this can be done under DNF, but I'm usingSo, just do "sudo dnf update" and when it comes back with the results,
that to decide whether it is worth doing the upgrade in terms of the
volume of updates that will be put on. If there are only 3 updates to
put on then its not necessarily worth putting on the updates yet.
look at them, THEN hit Y or N for yes or no to install them.
People who preload the install/update/erase command line with yes are
just asking for trouble. If something goes rogue, a command may
install or remove hundreds of packages, leaving you with a borked
system.
That's another bit of bad advice various websites offer.
It's most likely intended to be used by shell scripts.
