[SOLVED] Upgrading Mageia

Hello

I've just installed Mageia 3.
I'm wondering if it would be possible to upgrade
Would it be possible to upgrade to Mageia 4 when released?
I mean keeping all my programs and settings.

I know I can ugrade individual items, even the kernel, but I mean upgrading everything at once (and see that I'm using the new version when booting Grub).

distro-upgrade has been supported by Mageia for every release so far. It will almost certainly be supported for Mageia 3 to 4. See how it was described for Mageia 2 to 3:

https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_3_Rel ... m_Mageia_2

(2 to 3 was more complex than usual because of the relocation of the contents of /bin, /sbin and /lib)
