How To Upgrade To Fedora 33?

You can upgrade your Fedora Linux system using two methods: Graphical and command line. Graphical method is the simplest way to upgrade using the GNOME software center, where a notification will now be available in the Updates pane.

In the second method, you can upgrade your system by running the following commands in your terminal:

$ sudo dnf upgrade --refresh
$ sudo dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade
$ sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=33
$ sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot
