Been thinking of giving the ol Dora a crack one of these days. Maybe this is the day

For Atomic users, you can rebase to F40 and it’ll run the Beta/Prelease.

I love how easy this has become. I can’t imagine ever going back to a traditional distro model.

Same, I almost cringe when I see someone using one. I just see an unorganised mess of packages :P

Just installed it and nothing broke down. Gotta find something else to get my tinkering fix!

When upgrading to the beta, does it become the stable release once that’s out via regular dnf package upgrades? Or are you then on some kind of beta channel that you have to switch back from?

Yes

You’ll want to use the terminal and run “sudo dnf upgrade”. If there’s any issues after that, just run “sudo dnf distro-sync” to ensure everything’s using the final release repo’s. The sync command is strongly recommended but not always necessary.
