Fedora 20 is what, about five years old? There are many, many systems which are at least five years old. People don't really swap hardware every 2-3 years, any more. >
My contribution to the surprise: [root@localhost ~]# grep fedora-release /root/install.log Installing fedora-release-3-8.i386. [root@localhost ~]# uname -a Linux localhost 5.0.4-200.fc29.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Mar 25 02:27:33 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux This system was upgraded from Fedora 3 up to 29. Also note it started as i386, but at Fedora 16 got transformed into x86_64, a kind of (manual) upgrade never officially considered possible. I don't understand the consideration about old or new hardware. Why would I have to reinstall the system when getting new hardware? My Fedora system has jumped across 4 machines and who knows how many HDD/SDD replacements.
