Looking at things quickly, as well as the various long-named repos,
there's plain Fedora with the original installation files, but
individual Fedora repos for different CPU architectures, Fedora's own
updates are a separate Fedora update repo.

I find that things mostly "just work."  The people that have trouble
seem to be the ones that bodge things up themselves, and just keep
painting themselves into a corner.  And the ones that never to fresh
installs, and find some problem caused by release upgrades over release
upgrades that other people didn't (or other people just lived with, or
fixed up, without saying anything about it).

In the olden days, it was often the people that insisted on installing
absolutely every package, and would install mutually exclusive things,
and half-baked programs that were far from ready for general use.
