To move to Rocky Linux 9.5, the only safe way is:

  • Do a backup of data
  • Wipe the system and Install Rocky 9.5
  • Restore the data

Bit more verbosely:

  1. Always have backups of data
  2. Know what you have
  3. Do a fresh install of Rocky 9
  4. Install the equivalent applications
  5. Deploy appropriate configuration for the system
  6. Restore the data
