Thanks for a GREAT update to 23!
For the first time in a long while, I had very few issues upgrading from earlier Fedora releases to the latest version. Over the weekend, I updated two computers from F21 to F23 with only a few minor issues.
The F21 laptop was installed from F21 media a few months ago and the update was smooth except for changing the way the mouse operated -- I had to click on the window bar to raise windows (now fixed).
The F21 desktop has been repeatedly updated since about F13. Most previous updates were painful. This time, I had to remove a few programs including google-earth, then the update worked seamlessly. (I have yet to test Xilinx, Arduino, Maple, and STM tools.)
Thanks! -- Wade Hampton

Cool -- glad it went smoothly for you.

That's pretty impressive in itself!
Reading this makes me really happy. I used to make a clean install, but now I think that I'll try an upgrade. When the time comes, I already have Cinnamon Spin 23 and I must say that it works smoothly. Except for Nemo that is failing randomly. But isn't Fedora fault, happened the same and worse on Manjaro.
Cheers, Sylvia
Just to join in the fun and dancing:
Three machines: one home-assembled desktop (i5, 8GG RAM, etc); two Dell laptops: D630 (Core 2 Duo CPU, 4GB RAM; E6220 - i5 CPU, 8GB RAM).
Started w/ the Desktop and made three efforts; on the first, it ended challenging me to remove a perl-DBD-Pg-Test-FC21 package; on the second, to remove google-earth-stable, on the third, it completed correctly.
However, on each try, a full download of all necessary packages was necessary, requiring two hours each time (old school Verizon DSL).
(Was it necessary to do complete downloads? Couldn't these things have been cached for the next effort?)
Having learned the lessons of upgrading the desktop, upgrading the E6220 from F22 to F23 went correctly.
The D630 needed to move from F21->F22->F23. The problem there was that on F21, the Postgresql database version is incompatible (don't have the numbers in my head) w/ that of F22 and F23. Somewhere there should be a preamble on the next upgrade iteration that these sorts of things (those PostgreSQL upgrades that require a backup-and-restore) need to be done prior to advancing in Fedora releases. A nuisance (given that I have backups and some experience) that probably took 15 minutes to handle.
fyi,

Seems to be nice indeed! But, what did you exactly do?
