@JaredBusch said in Fedora 29 not ready for my laptop:

sudo dnf -y system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=29

same packages on my desktop with a problem (not a surprise).

It worked for me. But installed remmina and VLC using flatpak

Yeah, had to remove Remmina myself.

JaredBusch

libplacebo is a vlc dependency.

So just the two things causing me issues. I don't use VLC often so I can nuke that.

I use Remmina almost daily though.

WTF

Remmina is still there. You just have to uninstall and install again when done.

Interesting. My laptop has been running a while as I already removed them. So I'll report back once it is done.

I installed it back on mine already.

Good time to start using flatpak apps.

Upgraded to 29 successful. No issues discovered yet

JaredBusch

Laptop updated. About to kick off my desktop before running to the store.

JaredBusch

VLC now available for Fedora 29.

@JaredBusch Well that was quick.

I upgrade my Fedora after 2-3 months from the official release. By then everything is smooth and if I go the extra purist mile and reinstall only keeping $HOME, I can use an already updated Fedy for the more common initial setup stuff

But by then, you are already half way through the development cycle of the next iteration. I could see maybe 1 to 2 months, but to me 3 is an eternity.

dyasny

@NerdyDad Nope, by then I'm just starting my own 6 month upgrade cycle. Because in 3-4 months a new Fedora will come out, I'll wait 2-3 months again, and then upgrade. Like a clock
