I didn't do anything special. The systems I tried this on both run X11 (XFCE, so no wayland), and I just got this graphical display (Fedora logo in the middle of the screen and update messages at the top). I guess it's the plymouth package that takes care of these graphics. I used dnf system-upgrade to do the upgrades. -- Sjoerd Mullender
