Hi everyone. I’ve upgraded twice from Fedora 43 ws to fc44 ws. Both have a problem: sudo dnf5 upgrade --refresh --offline && sudo dnf5 offline reboot produces the classic “something unsaved” crash like notes or spreadsheets, even though there’s nothing unsaved. Rebooting from the top-right menu r…

Hi. Thanks for your reply! The upgrade went perfectly, following all the steps described in the excellent guide you mentioned to the letter. The problem lies in my daily update routine. I no longer update from gnome-software, which is mask, but only with the routine sudo dnf5 upgrade --refresh -…

Hi guys, Just a quick note to clear the air: if I sounded grumpy, it’s just my “self-deprecating humor” failing miserably in translation! :sweat_smile: I’m not frustrated at all—just a curious user trying to wrap my head around dnf5 while making fun of my own tech struggles.
