I have always had the same positive experience with the Fedora upgrades as well as Linuxmint upgrades. On reading Clifford's experience, I took the plunge as well and it worked great. Took longer on my 32bit box with dual core Intel cpu and 3 gigs of ram along with a lot of stuff to upgrade e.g. my Hadoop account, Python stuff. This is not the first time that I have used this approach and it always worked really well for me.

Whenever Fedora released a new major version, I'd do a fresh install, which based on past experience with attempts to upgrade in place was the best way. I just followed the directions here <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF_system_upgrade> to upgrade from 24 to 25. Within 20 minutes, I had a flawlessly working system. I'm very impressed. Hardware specs, in case you're wondering, are as follows. ASUS P755D with Intel i5-750 CPU, 16GB RAM /boot, /, and swap on a 120GB Samsung 750 EVO SSD /home on a 960GB SanDisk SSD /data on an 8TB Western Digital Red HDD nVidia 960GT video card (using nouveau driver) -- Regards, Clifford Ilkay + 1 647-778-8696 --- Talk Mailing List talk@gtalug.org https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
