Since version 21 it should be pretty easy to upgrade Fedora.
Simply update everything:

and reboot if you have updated the kernel.
Then install the updater:

and run it:

23 is the latest stable version that came out a few days ago but I could also switch to 24 (rawhide) if I wanted to test.

The upgrade is running now (1619 files)..
It downloads everything and tells me to run:


This reboots the computer and starts the upgrade. I am at 150 out of 31691 right now so this could take some time.

I am following this
The update went just fine.
But the virtualbox guest stuff is gone and I don't feel like playing arround with it right now so I might test it some other time...

I updated this install today.

More that 400 updates and all went well.

Regarding the virtualbox guest addition this thing simply does not seem to work in Fedora 23.

There is the tip to downgrade X but that defies everything that Fedora is about. There are also claims that this is fixed - but not so here.
I have it working in Centos 7 so this is probably Fedora keeping up the tradition with breaking stuff (It is a testing ground for RedHat.)

So I am stuck with a small resolution - other than that everything seems to be working well.
DNF seems to understand me just as good as Yum did - so I am happy with that. I guess most of the difference is "behind the scenes" but that makes me wonder; why not keep calling it Yum?

Edit: Giving the VirtualBox Guest stuff another try there seems to be a patch so I install the entire enchilada just to make sure /inckuding the patch):

And it was only the patch that was missing so rebooting......
Running the VBGuest CD script and get complaints about drag and drop, the rest is marked OK
..and no cigar.

This is where I leave Fedora 23 and check out other distros in VB....
