I’ve just upgraded my laptop to Fedora 25<\/a>. \u00a0The upgrade process was a breeze (as per instructions from this article<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\r\nsudo su -\r\ndnf upgrade --refresh\r\ndnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade\r\ndnf system-upgrade download --releasever=25\r\ndnf system-upgrade reboot\r\n<\/pre>\n
About 2,500 packages (1 GB and some) were downloaded in about 40 minutes (yeah, our Internet connection could use a boost). Then rebooted and the upgraded kicked in. It took about another 40 minutes to run the process (I should get myself an SSD-based laptop next time).<\/p>\n
The only thing I had to fix after the upgrade was the kmod-wl package, which provides the drivers for my wireless interface. Another reboot later all was good.<\/p>\n
There were no major visual changes (I’m using MATE Desktop<\/a>), but something felt a bit different. \u00a0After focusing on the differences for a few minutes, I think it’s the fonts. \u00a0Something is better, sharper, more polished.<\/p>\n
Other than that, all is pretty much the same. \u00a0I’ll need to use it for a while to see if I can spot any changes. \u00a0Hopefully, at least a flickering issue that I got after some upgrade during the Fedora 24 life span is fixed now. \u00a0It was weird. \u00a0A particular application window would start to flick and refresh until clicked again. \u00a0Never figured out what it was. :)<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
