I’ve seen many sad stories and struggles when it comes to upgrading Fedora 24 to 25. I did not want to risk this while I had all kinds of conferences and responsibilities, however, today my synergy decided to not quite work properly. Funny enough, only half of my keyboard was working, some keys did not spawn the delicate letters. For this reason, I decided to upgrade to Fedora 25 now. I was thinking “It’s already broken, can’t be worse right?”

And so I did it. A few simple keystrokes, two gigabytes of data downloaded, and here I am. Fedora 25 is up and running, without any issues. Even synergy is fixed \o/

I did have but one conflicting package, that had to be dealt with using the --allowerasing flag. This was actually the one for synergy, which I’ve got from copr. Anyway, glad I did it, no complaints so far. =)

There is a nice Fedora Magazine article describing the steps to upgrade your Fedora, if you haven’t done so yet… Just Do It!
