Hi,

I recently (last night) upgraded the oldest of my machines.

Because I was doing this from memory, I decided to do trial-and-error (not a 
good idea, I know, but it was late and I was lazy).

So, I did:

sudo dnf upgrade --releasever 31

and everything went through fine, including installation on the commandline. 
There was no interruption because it came up immediately in F31 (was previously 
F30). This morning, I went back and looked at the notes at 
https://fedoramagazine.org/upgrading-fedora-31-to-fedora-32/ and realized that 
I should have used

sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=32

and

sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot

so that is what I did to move the system to F32. This took a long time in 
coming up, during which the machine was unusable.

So, my question: which of the two approaches is "better"? The latter is 
swankier while coming up, but is the one with the Windows-type message 
(Upgrading system -- please do not turn off your computer, or something 
similar) but if there is no difference, I prefer the first.

Any thoughts?

Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
