Tell HN: I just had my unexpectedly smoothest OS major version upgrade

7 pointsby aljgzover 1 year ago
I&#x27;m running Fedora (KDE flavour) on my desktop. My desktop is a tricky machine, set up by myself, with all the usual troublemakers: Nvidia 4090, External Audio interface, multiple monitors, many different development, gaming and productivity tools, entire drive LUKS encryption, dual boot with Windows 11 pro, etc.<p>I upgraded to Fedora 39 using dnf-system-upgrade, and it went flawlessly.<p>In my 20 years of handling computers, this is the first time with a tricky computer. Even the work&#x27;s MBP M1 had problems with some third-party software when upgrading. I had similarly good experiences with my Framework laptop, but that was expected.<p>This anecdote causes me to feel much better about Linux on desktop.<p>Kudos to the Fedora team for maintaining one of the last remaining products I can fully trust.
