Hi I'm relatively new to Linux. There's talk about updating, say from Fedora 37 to 38.

Is this something that needs to happen manually? If I solely update through the updater software, I'm not getting the whole "38"?

I understand that, of course, I won't see updates on the installer or I won't use a new supported partition type unless I install it again.

Apart from that, what's missing? Some software won't be updated? The kernel?

Thank you all!

    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.

    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/
