How often do you run dnf upgrade?
I was wondering, more fore the mature users of Fedora, how often you upgrade your system? As a mostly rolling release distribution and update package release, if anyone of you run a stable system, do you have any strategy for deciding when to upgrade? (i.e. every 3 months, on weekends, when there's low job workload, everytime?)
Thanks
Do you mean
dnf update
or (as you wrote)dnf upgrade
? Updates are relatively lightweight system events and can be run frequently (like daily). Upgrades are available about every six months and may have deep ramifications which keep the system from functioning correctly after an upgrade.fyi, dnf update does the same as dnf upgrade. Actually update is just an alias for upgrade and will be deprecated some time soon.
@wallyk what you mean is called system-upgrade In fedoras world, a distribution upgrade.
It is already deprecated according to
man dnf
