Thanks, i might start using that so i can continue work while it’s installing. Even if I’m going to reboot later, i won’t have to wait for it to install before using the system.
Except if you ran the update from within a graphical session and your session crashed, as this will kill DNF, making the update incomplete and potentially corrupting files. I recommend you either:
use the graphical updaters
run dnf from a TTY
or use some of the atomic spins, having atomic updates on btrfs subvolumes
sudo dnf up
Works for me.
Sorry, that will forever be Did Not Finish for me. 😣
Speedcubing or racing games? That’s where I know that term from

Switched to nix in the meantime.
You need to “sudo dnf clean all” first to make sure you get the freshest index!
You can do that, but it is not necessary.
It’s not necessary but you’ll get updates quicker. And I’m a chronic updater, even pick and choose stuff from updates-testing.
I recommend “dnf automatic” to fetch the latest package index in background
