I’m new to Fedora, I started using it a year ago. I first installed the KDE spin, then I started to mainly use LXQt (briefly used XFCE). So in the process of changing desktop enviorments I might’ve caused the current issue somehow. When I try to upgrade it from 33 to 35 (or 33 to 34) it wants to ‘upgrade’ unnecessary groups that I don’t even have installed. Is there a way to block that or do I have to upgrade it to 35, then remove the packages that I don’t need? For example I don’t need any of the KDE related groups.
Here is the output summary of “sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=35 --allowerasing”:
