Fedora 26: Upgrade with dnf

Fedora 26: Fedora is one of the most popular GNU/Linux. It is a result of Fedora , μιας ευρείας κοινότητας εθελοντών και χρηματοδοτείται απο τη Red Hat. Το default περιβάλλον του Fedora είναι το GNOME desktop και το προεπιλεγμένο interface είναι το GNOME Shell. Φυσικά υποστηρίζει και άλλα desktop environments, όπως τα: KDE, Xfce, LXDE, MATE και which are released as custom ISOs in Fedora spins.

One of the best known features of the distribution is that each one is new του Fedora κυκλοφορεί ανά εξάμηνο. Η προτεινόμενη μέθοδος αναβάθμισης είναι με επανεκκίνηση από CD με την καινούρια έκδοση. Το λογισμικό θα ελέγξει τους σκληρούς δίσκους του υπολογιστή για παλιότερες εκδόσεις της διανομής. Αν βρεθούν παλιότερες εκδόσεις, θα πρέπει α επιλέξετε εγκατάσταση εκ νέου ή αναβάθμιση.

Upgrade via yum / dnf is not recommended, but we'll see below how it happened without any problems:

 

We upgraded a multi-boot system with Fedora 25, CentOS and Manjaro Linux, on Fedora 26, CentOS and Manjaro. The main boot is under Manjaro as you will see below . We took the screenshot after upgrading Fedora to version 26. We ran the grub-mkconfig command into the main boot (Manjaro) to see the new upgraded version of Fedora 26 and the new Kernel.

But let's see how we went through the dnf upgrade.

 
First we will install the Package-x-generic-16.pngdnf-plugin-system-upgrade:

sudo dnf install dnf-plugin--upgrades

and we will download all upgraded packages for the 26 version (releasever = 26):

sudo dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever = 26 --allowerasing

Make sure to accept installing the new RPM-GPG-KEY

When all the packages are down, we can upgrade, which will start after reboot and will take a long time.

sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot

After restarting your computer, all your settings from the previous version will be there, but your operating system will be upgraded to the latest version.

But let's see what's coming with the new Fedora 26 (still under development)

As you can see in the image above, the Cinnamon version (Gnome has reached version 3.24) is at 3.4, while the has been upgraded to version 4.11.

You can see what else the new version brings to official webpage.
