After downloading all the packages and doing the reboot, I get the following;
Error: system is not ready for upgrade
Also, using the software GNOME hangs @ partial loading, or just doesn’t start properly to download the packages.
Hard to say without any further information.
Did you follow the steps outlined in DNF System Upgrade :: Fedora Docs?
What was the output of …
sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=38
?
Could be third party repo that doesn’t provide f38 package just yet. Please post dnf repolist.
You can also add a -v to get a more verbose output and learn some details about “Error: system is not ready for upgrade”.

Hi Flo, I went thru all the dnf steps, from “its FOSS”, I updated, and used all the instructions, it down loaded all the packages and when it came to the “sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot”, is when I got the error message.
without more information, we can’t help you.
please paste the output of
sudo dnf repolist-
sudo dnf -v system-upgrade download --releasever=38, and sudo dnf -v system-upgrade reboot

I am pretty sure one or more of those repos don’t provide f38 packages.
Disable all third party repos and retry. If you don’t know how to do this from set command line (dnf -set-disabled <reponame>), you can do it in Gnome Software.

Does this help you any to see the problem?

Ok, there is a problem with FlightGear. Suggestion: Remove it, then upgrade, then install it again.
(Don’t worry, your user data will be preserved).
Also, don’t run sudo dnf clean packages from the cache or dnf has to re-download everything all over again.
PS: I wonder if FlightGear is affected by Popular third-party RPMs fail to install/update/remove due to security policies verification …?

I don’t need or use “Flight gear”, so how is the BEST way to remove it completely and “Cleanly”?

Ok, FlightGear is removed.
What would / should be the next Step, before we lose communication if it starts the reboot?
Tried the and got the following: (again(
sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot
[sudo] password for frank:
Error: system is not ready for upgrade
Did the flightgear removal command also remove FlightGear-data? If not remove it as well. Then, because you cleaned the f38 packages (removed them):
sudo dnf -v system-upgrade download --releasever=38
I entered the command, hit y… continue and got this, after it downloaded the packages:
Install 47 Packages
Upgrade 2644 Packages
Remove 7 Packages
Downgrade 17 Packages
Total size: 4.0 G
DNF will only download packages, install gpg keys, and check the transaction.
Is this ok [y/N]:
Should I try the “y” command now?
Yes, that’s what you want.
