Did the fedora packages for f38 get installed?
fedora-release*
fedora-repos*
If they did, you can try a distro-sync using dnf
Distro-Sync Command
Command: distro-sync
Aliases: dsync
Deprecated aliases: distrosync, distribution-synchronization
dnf distro-sync [<package-spec>...]
As necessary upgrades, downgrades or keeps selected
installed packages to match the latest version available from
any enabled repository. If no package is given, all installed
packages are considered.
If it didn't, try restarting the sytem-upgrade process. How resource
constrained is the laptop for memory. I vaguely recall the minimum
required bumped to 2 GB because lower was causing problems. There was
a discussion of minimum hardware requirements increasing, but I don't
think it went through.
If it still has problems, try manually downloading the fedora packages
from koji
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=9
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=18771
and installing them with dnf -C
And then run manual dnf updates for only part of the install packages,
so that things are done in smaller batches than the full upgrade.
At the end, you could run distro-sync.
