Moving up the ladder - Fedora 29 upgrade
The upgrade process from Fedora 28 to Fedora 29 was a success. The overall procedure was long and slow, and my machine was offline for a bunch of time, but in the end, it completed without problems. Only small glitches with extensions, but other than that, everything was peachy. Software, updates, kernels, stability, all of it. Very smooth and painless.
On top of that, you get some genuine improvement in responsiveness, which is a great thing, and the new Fedora uses fewer system resources, resulting in an ever so slightly better battery life. There's more to be done, especially on the CPU front, but this is one of the more fun upgrades I've had in a while. I'm happy it worked out fine, and I'm gearing up for the next test, and that's Fedora 29 on an old machine with Nvidia graphics. To be continued.
