I was wondering what is the best way to update my fedora os from command line.

yum update (safe ?)
dnf update (fast but buggy)
pkcon update ( no control )

For example as nvidia blob user i always got into trouble with rpmfusion package and kernel version mismatch. ( kernel 3.16.2 for example ) it's maybe due to the fact i misuse the cmdline.

i'm interested in best practices for cmdline.

PS: i'm using now negativo17 repo for nvidia blob.

All of this information is already available here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading

Please note that there is no guarantee that packages from third party repositories will update correctly. Unfortunately, Fedora cannot help with this :/

I suggest you back up all your important data before proceeding.

I would suggest you, for daily updates to use whatever comes as default with your distro, unless you hit any issues, that are not quickly resolved. Chances are , with deprecated yum, that yum issues will not be found and will not be fixed as more time passes.

i.e. dnf for fedora 22 and yum with earlier versions
