I used dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=41 to upgrade. After dnf system-upgrade reboot, I got stuck in a bootloop for several hours, which I broke by hard resetting. Afterwards, GNOME information declares that I’m running Fedora 41 with GNOME 46, and dnf --version returns version 4.21.1
Subsequently,
❯ sudo dnf system-upgrade upgrade
trigger file does not exist. exiting quietly.
❯ sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=41
Before you continue ensure that your system is fully upgraded by running "dnf --refresh upgrade". Do you want to continue [y/N]: y
