Fedora Update Commands

[thumbtak]

Software update:

$ sudo dnf makecache --refresh
$ sudo dnf check-update
$ sudo dnf upgrade
$ sudo dnf update
$ sudo snap refresh
$ sudo flatpak upgrade
$ sudo flatpak uninstall --unused
$ sudo dnf clean all
$ sudo dnf autoremove
$ sudo rpmconf -a

Note: These are the same command. You can run both, but only one is needed.

$ sudo dnf upgrade
$ sudo dnf update

To upgrade to a new version:
https://fedoraproject.org//

$ sudo dnf upgrade --refresh
$ sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=[version number here]

Script: Save as update_system.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Using simple separators to make text stand out
SEPARATOR="----------------------------------------"

echo "$SEPARATOR"
echo "Starting system update process..."
echo "$SEPARATOR"

echo "Refreshing DNF cache..."
sudo dnf makecache --refresh
echo "DNF cache refreshed."

echo "$SEPARATOR"
echo "Upgrading system packages..."
sudo dnf upgrade -y
echo "System packages upgraded."
echo "$SEPARATOR"

Remember, which I forgot, that the script doesn’t check for new versions. You should run this manually, every so often.
