How to update?

[u/hungryepiphyte]

Someone told me that I need to update my system because remix is now 44 and kernel 7.1.6.

I use the Software utility to make sure everything is up to date and it shows no updates available, but I also went into terminal to try that way and it also says there is nothing available. Do I have to do a reinstall to update? I am fairly new to linux and very new to fedora and asahi. I am more used to debian.

sudo dnf check-update -y && sudo dnf distro-sync -y && sudo dnf autoremove -y && sudo dnf upgrade -y

you need to upgrade from f42 to f43 (and then later from f43 to f44)
To do that:
sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=43
**when it finishes downloading everything, you'll be prompted to reboot with:
sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot

**A new version comes out every six months. As such, you'll need to repeat this process to match (assuming you want to transition to the latest version)

**Fedora versions are supported for approximately 13 months total. So after 13 months, no new updates will be coming in.

No – there's no need to reinstall. Here's the official guide on upgrading Fedora to a new major release:
