I've done a lot of F30 to F32 upgrades with no problems.
Was asking about the safest way. I've also done a number of two version
updates over the years. Had a classroom with 21 computers, and
generally, wouldn't do an upgrade in the middle of a semester, so 2
version upgrades where common. It was just one time years ago, that
doing the two version upgrade caused a system to fail to boot after the
upgrade. Tried a couple of things, but couldn't get it to work, so just
reimaged it to the previous setup, and did two 1 version updates that
worked fine.
Always, did an image backup before just in case, but also had other
systems that could be reimaged to it if a problem happened.
Takes more time, and probable not likely to have any issue, but one
never knows.
Retired after 36 years of teaching, so haven't done a 30 to 32 upgrade.
Started with Unixware as first unix related system, and the went to
RedHat 9. Went from Fedora Core 1 to the Fedora 32. Have 5 linux
systems at home doing stuff. 3 are Fedora 32, 2 are still Fedora 31.
