Update system

Create snapshots/backups for your computer
We'll be using Timeshift, but you can use whichever snapshot/backup tool you like.
SELinux compatibility
Fedora Workstation and many other spins enforce SELinux by default.
If you want to use Timeshift with SELinux, you might want to set SELinux mode from “enforcing” to “permissive” to enable proper function among kernel versions.
/etc/selinux/configSELINUX=enforcing SELINUX=permissiveRestart your computer after the modification.
rebootInstall Timeshift
sudo dnf install timeshiftGo through the setup wizard
I recommend keeping 3–5 boot snapshots.

Restore backup when needed
Choose the snapshot you wish to restore and voila!

If you are restoring snapshots in RSYNC mode, you may encounter file mislabeling errors or "permission denied" errors. You may perform the following. Be patient with the reboot as the system takes its time to relabel files.
sudo touch /.autorelabel reboot
Further customization
From this point on, customization for your Fedora installation would mainly be based on the DE that you are using.
