From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I guess this is the succinct version of the other replies. You're getting downvotes but I like it anyway :)
This isn't a correct answer to your question, that's why it's getting downvotes.
Thanks for the info!
here, I fixed it for ya! =)
dnf check-update
dnf updateinfo
dnf updateinfo list
sudo dnf upgrade
That's still not how you upgrade from one Fedora version to another. Please try not to provide information you're unsure about, it's irresponsible.
This is the documentation: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-new-release/
All I do is dnf upgrade...
That's fine for installing patches to the same version, and updates to some major software, but you won't receive all the new features, and since versions are only supported for 13-months you'll stop receiving updates by then. It's good to familiarise yourself with the release cycle https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/releases/lifecycle/
This is like asking somebody what the US Pledge of Allegiance is and they respond “God Save the King”. The answer is very succinct but also uselessly, dangerously, and maybe offensively wrong.
