Should anyone encounter any problem, console displaying any weird message or such please

  • hold on trying to upgrade

  • disable any additional repository and keep only main repo

  • type in console commands:

sudo dnf clean all;dnf clean all;dnf repolist
sudo dnf --allowerasing distro-sync 2>&1| tee dsync-log.txt

and post that log in your forum post.

BIG fat warning remind:

At the time of writing system upgrade will install new distro-release-* packages.
Enjoy the new theme :wink:

:warning: For some reason it will overwrite /etc/dnf/dnf.conf so if you have anything added there you will need to add it again, or just backup the file before distro-sync and restore it later.
