I used to burden myself by reinstalling the OS with every new update, because I wanted a clean OS I reasoned. Eventually I stopped worrying and it hasn't been a problem. I'm still open to doing a fresh install if something goes wrong. I still back up my data knowing that the OS or the hardware can die any time.

To update to the latest Fedora versions I run a shell command and 30 minutes later I have the new version and I can hardly tell the difference.

I've been waiting for mine to break after my last fresh install on Fedora 27 (when i got an SSD for the first time). I'm on Fedora 36 now and it's been fine. I've been waiting for a new computer to do the next fresh install.
