= Fedora =

'''Fedora''' is a Linux-based operating system.

Fedora is heavily supported by Red Hat, which maintains the downstream operating systems [[Linux/RHEL|RHEL]] and [[Linux/CentOSStream|CentOS Stream]].

[[Linux/CentOS|CentOS]] was a downstream operating system up to version 8, when Red Hat killed the project in favor of CentOS Stream. The new downstream operating systems [[Linux/Rocky|Rocky Linux]] and [[Linux/Alma|Alma Linux]] were created in response.

A new major version of Fedora happens is released six months, approximately in April and October. Major version releases are supported for 13 months.

A host running Fedora can be upgraded in steps of 1 or 2 major version releases.

 2. If not already available locally, install a release upgrade plugin for `dnf(8)`

{{{
sudo dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade
}}}

 3.#3 Download the new release
 3.3 The download may be blocked if support for some software was dropped. The `--allowerasing` option can be passed to force the download anyway.

{{{
sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=38
}}}

 4.#4 Validate the GPG fingerprint that is printed to the screen
 5. Trigger the upgrade and reboot sequence

{{{
sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot
}}}

sudo dnf clean packages
