Aight, I ran sudo dnf --refresh upgrade, it worked without throwing any errors I could tell, then I ran dnf upgrade --allowerasing, and it said dependencies resolved, so does it not restart?

Wow, unbelievable, we got it fixed!
Did you remove duplicate packages with
sudo dnf remove --duplicates
?

Since dnf upgrade worked , there was no need to run it again with “–allowerasing”.

What do you mean, are you talking about rebooting? If yes, dnf does not work like gnome-software, it does not reboot your computer.

Yay! Thanks man. I ran it as far as I k is, but I’ll just run it again quick.

ok, great, we did it ! thanks for the help man

I keep forgetting about this, it would be good to mark one of the two long posts as the solution, for the benefit of people who may want to have this much fun in the future. Probably this one.
