I start..
I am in Australia and after just being back to Linux for about 2+ months, I was concerned and eager to run through an upgrade.
I spend the last 2 days constantly refreshing “Discover” getting only updated FC43 packages, but no sign of the 44 upgrade.
This afternoon I bit the bullet and used DNF in console which found the upgrade and went ahead.
I highly recommend to follow the official documentation as per this link:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-offline/
The upgrade went super-smooth and I followed the documentation to clean up any old files/outdated symlinks etc.
Multiple re-boots and a complete shutdown has proven that it is a clean upgrade with no issues (so far). All customization and existing files/Network Links were all maintained. Very happy with the result.
I was gonna wait for it to appear in Discover but maybe this arvo I’ll do the same as you. Good to hear positive upgrade stories.
Yeah just showed for me when I got home. First Fedora big update and everything’s still perfect after the update 
Smooth upgrade, I waited for the announcement in Discover. The few days waiting was worth it, I guess 
Remark about plasma: the new plasmalogin did not install by default on my laptops after upgrading. For whatever reason.
Now, to make that shift possible I did the next two things in Konsole:
sudo dnf install plasma-login-manager kcm-plasmalogin
sudo systemctl disable sddm && sudo systemctl enable plasmalogin
and thereafter it worked.
If not liked, you can always switch back. But sddm has for many years been kind of buggy in my experience.
Atomic user here. Update went without a hitch. No bugs, no regressions etc.
(deleted my post above as I replied to someone else by mistake)
Thanks for pointing that out. On mine, plasma login was installed, but not enabled. Using your command string enabled it. I fully shut my Laptop down and gave it 10 seconds before turning it back on again, to make sure that it uses the new Login Manager. Same as you, SDDM was giving me random problems in Fedora 43.
How to check if either is active:
systemctl status plasmalogin.service sddm.service
My Kinoite had the plasma by default after the upgrade. I’ll check later my desktop.
Fedora 44 KDE Plasma upgrade went very well, upgraded from Fedora 43 on a Beelink MINIS12-Pro-A, took about 15 minutes.
F43 Atomic Kinoite user here. I attempted to update through the Discover store, and each time Discover just crashes. Seeing F43 isn’t at EOL, I guess I’ve got several months to try to figure a workaround. Anyone know how to upgrade via terminal?
This is the website I used to upgrade through terminal. The website gives silverblue as an example, but I changed the command to:
rpm-ostree rebase fedora:fedora/44/x86_64/kinoite
Thank you. I just booted up my laptop to try that on and apparently the Discover upgrade/rebase worked. Discover crashed and I just left my computer on for about 15-20 minutes just in case the GUI crashed but stuff was still happening in the background. And apparently that’s what happened. When I booted is showed Fedora 44.
I’ll keep that rebase terminal command in my notes in case it’s needed for my other computers that also have Fedora. I’m updating them one at a time, starting with my least critical computers.
