> [@2rocky1](#): > > while performing dnf update -y && dnf upgrade -y Note that “update” is an alias for “upgrade”. See `man dnf` Therefore, you did run `dnf upgrade -y && dnf upgrade -y` Why twice? If the first failed, then second won’t run and if the first did succeed, then second had nothing to do. Furthermore, why say “yes” automatically? You can say it interactively too, when the proposed changes are shown to you. ---

As already pointed out, but bears repeating, I recommend that you do not use the -y switch. When you use -y you are removing your only chance to bail out of the dnf command if it looks like it will do something you weren’t expecting. without -y you will get a summary of what the dnf command will do and a chance to proceed or bail. ---
