I upgraded my main laptop to #Fedora 38. One click in the Software Center, it downloaded everything in about 5 minutes, and the upgrade itself took around the same amount of time. Everything works after rebooting, except the Quick Settings Tweaker and Dark mode switcher extensions, which are not crucial, so I’d say it was pretty damn smooth! I’m always amazed at how simple our desktops have become these days…

Will upgrade the desktop today as well!

Spoke too soon, Resolve doesn’t run, it throws a symbol lookup error linked to libpango. So I won’t be upgrading the desktop just yet, I guess!

Also, this is why I can’t wait for deb, rpm, .run or .bin formats to die, at least for applications. If Resolve was a Flatpak, a Snap or an Appimage, it would have had no issues surviving the upgrade. It would have come with the versions it needs. It would install and run on any distro without additional packages to install manually.

App Developers: use these new formats, you’ll do yourself, and your users a favor.

@thelinuxEXP I disagree. I prefer traditional package management. I've never had any troubles therein. And I just upgraded from Debian 11 to Debian 12 without any hiccups or anything breaking.
