What to do now that Fedora 28 is end of life
Running an end-of-life release means new vulnerabilities in the kernel, browser libraries, and system packages stay unpatched. The next supported step is Fedora 43, supported until Dec 9, 2026.
Use GNOME Software, or run sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=<version> followed by sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot. Fedora supports upgrading up to two releases ahead at a time.
