Help me understand Linux distros updates.
Help me understand Linux distros updates.
Hi I'm relatively new to Linux. There's talk about updating, say from Fedora 37 to 38.
Is this something that needs to happen manually? If I solely update through the updater software, I'm not getting the whole "38"?
I understand that, of course, I won't see updates on the installer or I won't use a new supported partition type unless I install it again.
Apart from that, what's missing? Some software won't be updated? The kernel?
Thank you all!

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
sudo apt-get autoremoveOp is talking about Fedora not Ubuntu/Debian. This does not apply.
I guess this is the succinct version of the other replies. You're getting downvotes but I like it anyway :)
This isn't a correct answer to your question, that's why it's getting downvotes.
Thanks for the info!
here, I fixed it for ya! =)
dnf check-update
dnf updateinfo
dnf updateinfo list
sudo dnf upgradeThat's still not how you upgrade from one Fedora version to another. Please try not to provide information you're unsure about, it's irresponsible.
This is the documentation: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-new-release/
This is like asking somebody what the US Pledge of Allegiance is and they respond “God Save the King”. The answer is very succinct but also uselessly, dangerously, and maybe offensively wrong.
