Fedora 26: Fedora is one of the most popular distributions GNU/Linux. It is the result of the Fedora Project, a broad community of volunteers and is sponsored by Red Hat. Fedora's default environment is the GNOME desktop and the default interface is GNOME Shell. Of course, it also supports other desktop environments, such as: KDE, Xfce, LXDE, MATE and Cinnamon that are released as custom ISOs in Fedora spins.
One of the most famous characteristics της διανομής είναι η κάθε καινούργια έκδοση 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 installation re or upgrade.
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 in the picture below. The screenshot was taken after the upgrade of Fedora to 26. We ran the grub-mkconfig command in functional (Manjaro) that we have the main boot to see the new upgraded version of Fedora 26 and the new Kernel.
But let's see how we went through the dnf upgrade.
We will initially install the package dnf-plugin-system-upgrade
:
sudo dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade
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 above figure, the Cinnamon version (Gnome has reached the 3.24 version) is in 3.4, while Linux Kernel has been upgraded to 4.11.
You can see what else the new version brings to official webpage.
