Fedora

Upgrading

To upgrade a Fedora distribution (to, say, version 36), run:

$ sudo dnf upgrade --refresh
$ sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=36

After the download of new packages is finished, run:

sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot

Build tools

Run

sudo dnf install @development-tools

Performance

Boot times

Create a chart of the boot process:

sudo systemd-analyze plot >bootup.svg && eog bootup.svg

If your rsyslog.service is taking a long time (>20s) to start, look at this issue.
