Discussion Use nobara-sync, not dnf upgrade
As title says. And i have made this error too. Just because this is fedora doesnt mean dnf upgrade is the best way to update. Check the documentation, you need to do nobara-sync or nobara-sync cli

Out of curiosity, why use the command when the DNF app center does that? (genuinely asking)

Apparently there have been rare cases where the updater app failed to update itself which then caused the rest of the update to fail too whereas updating via the command would've worked.
I've seen multiple such reports which convinced me to avoid the app and only use the command.

Not everyone uses the GUI’s. Lots of people prefer command line and the terminal. In this case they should know the proper command shouldn’t they?

Right, I get the idea of knowing how to do it and I agree with it. But there's no benefit to running the command Vs just using the updater, is there?

No. Again, it’s just for people with different workflows. Not sure if you program at all, but it’s a common thing in that world too. Anything to minimize mouse usage. I don’t personally follow this ideology but it is very, very common on Linux.

Ah ok, see that makes more sense. No, I'm not a coder or programmer, just an ex windows user since 3.1. So using the mouse (to me) is more efficient, currently anyway. Thanks for the clearer explanation.

No problem. I do agree mouse is just easier for me as well. If you look into it though there’s some pretty cool setups though that are VERY quick.
In the programming world you’ll see debates between things like vim like editors and full IDEs because some people don’t like to reach for the mouse while programming. It’s pretty crazy to think about but seeing it done is kinda cool. Definitely not for me though lol

Personally I also find the GUI a bit slow and clunky, the command line feels faster.

Looks like copr's needs to be disabled to make nobara-sync work correctly:
#!/usr/bin/env sh
sudo dnf copr disable copr.fedorainfracloud.org/scottames/ghostty
sudo dnf copr disable copr.fedorainfracloud.org/rhcontainerbot/podman-next
nobara-sync install-updates
sudo dnf -y copr enable copr.fedorainfracloud.org/rhcontainerbot/podman-next
sudo dnf -y copr enable copr.fedorainfracloud.org/scottames/ghostty

where did you find the information for this?

Just a prior experience, some COPRs aren't have any issues. But in my case nobara-sync refuses to update.

Yeah, this is super important.
As we used to say in the infant days of Linux: RTFM
Read the fucking manual.
