I recently switched to Fedora. I have enjoyed it thoroughly although I am a little skeptical how the upgrade process for Fedora will go when Fedora 44 eventually comes out.

One of the concerns is the package delays on the RPM Fusion repo. I've heard it can take weeks before updated packages are shipped, a package without a valid Fedora 44 compatible package will prevent the update from being installed.

COPR is another can of worms, most people just recommend disabling all COPR packages before upgrading.

What can Terra offer me? How can I prevent dependency hell? What is the upgrade process like when lots of Terra packages are installed?
