Tell HN: I just had my unexpectedly smoothest OS major version upgrade
I'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.
I upgraded to Fedora 39 using dnf-system-upgrade, and it went flawlessly.
In my 20 years of handling computers, this is the first time with a tricky computer. Even the work'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.
This anecdote causes me to feel much better about Linux on desktop.
Kudos to the Fedora team for maintaining one of the last remaining products I can fully trust.
