Fedora also considers it an install. From https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/latest/system-upgrade/ Automatic upgrade using dnf system upgrade The preferred way to upgrade your system is an automatic upgrade using the dnf system upgrade utility. For information on performing an automatic upgrade, see link: Upgrading Fedora using the DNF system upgrade. Manual Reinstallation Instead of relying on dnf system upgrade, you can reinstall the latest version of Fedora. This involves booting the installer as if you were performing a clean installation, letting it detect your existing Fedora system, and overwriting the root partition while preserving data on other partitions and volumes. The same process can also be used to reinstall the system, if you need to do so for any reason. For detailed information, see Manual System Upgrade or Reinstallation. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
