Q: Do you know when to dnf upgrade vs dnf distro-sync?
A: dnf upgrade = updates all apps & software to latest version, while dnf distro-sync = syncs everything to latest distro version, which may add, downgrade or remove parts.

@rockylinux what's the use case for distro-sync? get rid of potentially orphaned packages?

@rockylinux
What's a case where I might want to do a distro-sync instead of upgrade?

@FritzAdalis @rockylinux When you don't want to redo your server setup from scratch, and you have either ported your software to the next Rocky release, or your software is tested to work fine with both the new Rocky release and distro-sync. My two cents.
