I&#8217;ve already upgraded my primary workstation and am in the process of upgrading the rest of my systems as I write this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Upgrade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The upgrade went well Except for one problem. The first try on my workstation produced an error indicating a conflict with the kdnssd-avahi package. I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.both.org\/?p=9363\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.both.org\/?p=9363\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">don&#8217;t use Avahi<\/a> so removed that package which resolved the problem. All the other hosts I&#8217;ve upgraded so far have had no problems during the upgrade itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find upgrade instructions <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.fedoraproject.org\/en-US\/quick-docs\/upgrading-fedora-new-release\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/docs.fedoraproject.org\/en-US\/quick-docs\/upgrading-fedora-new-release\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t installed Fedora yet, you can download the USB live images here. I suggest the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.both.org\/?p=13676\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.both.org\/?p=13676\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Everything<\/a> image because it has the most flexibility while also offering the easiest install. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First impressions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I use the Xfce desktop and I&#8217;m seeing no differences whatsoever. That consistency is a good thing for users because it makes the upgrade essentially invisible to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost everything is working as expected, however, the upgrade turned off the mic in my Corsair headset. All I needed to do to fix that was to turn it back on using the Volume Control app. So far I&#8217;ve had only this one trivial operational issue. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fedora 44 was released today.
