sudo dnf up

Works for me.

Speedcubing or racing games? That's where I know that term from

While that works, it sometimes might break things: https://fedoramagazine.org/offline-updates-and-fedora-35/

Crashes are just the system telling me to restart. As god intended.

Except if you ran the update from within a graphical session and your session crashed, as this will kill DNF, making the update incomplete and potentially corrupting files. I recommend you either:

  • use the graphical updaters
  • run dnf from a TTY
  • or use some of the atomic spins, having atomic updates on btrfs subvolumes

Switched to nix in the meantime.

Thanks, i might start using that so i can continue work while it's installing. Even if I'm going to reboot later, i won't have to wait for it to install before using the system.

You need to "sudo dnf clean all" first to make sure you get the freshest index!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You can do that, but it is not necessary.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's not necessary but you'll get updates quicker. And I'm a chronic updater, even pick and choose stuff from updates-testing.

I recommend "dnf automatic" to fetch the latest package index in background
