Anyone an idea how to fix/get around this mess?

I have a system that says its Fedora 42 in /etc/os-release
But it has still the fc41 packages installed and tries to use these repos with dnf update.

Trying again to run the system upgrade errors out as seen in the second screenshot, and doing a normal dnf update with forcing the releasever variable to 42 fails because of all these conflicting files between the fc41 and fc42 packages 😔

The vivaldi browser is doing some strange things. I'm downloading some source packages in .tar.gz format and it is creating file sizes much larger than the actual files. Has anybody else seen this?

vivaldi version 7.9.3970.45
on fedora linux 41

Chrome and pipewire on Fedora 41 are not happy at the moment.

Looks like it might be triggered by connecting/disconnecting Bluetooth headphones

#Fedora #fedora41

Hmm, rebooted laptop at the weekend to apply latest updates and now Chrome/Slack can't open the microphone and there is a lot of delay on opening the camera.

No new updates pending

I'm having continuous problems with #Fedora. It started on #Fedora41 with internet problems (couldn't connect to my network neither using wifi or lan). I then tried to install #Fedora42 from liveusb where the installer just froze every time.

I chose to install Fedora 41, and then upgrade to Fedora 42 from the software center. That did work but next day connectivity issues reappeared. I want to switch.

Upgraded my main workstation from #Fedora40 to #Fedora42. Smooth experience overall, with just a couple of quirks:
1. Globally installed #Python packages haven't survived the upgrade and had to be re-installed
2. The latest version of #Fedora that #veracrypt publishes a package for is 40. This was the main reason I didn't upgrade to #fedora41. But version 40 got too close to EOL, so I had to learn how to build VeraCrypt from source code.

Question for Fedora users

I'm currently on Fedora 40 but support ends soon and I don't want to jump on 42 this early so is there a way to upgrade to 41 without a clean install now that 42 is the stable release?
