I also upgraded to Fedora 33 following Fedora's Fedora's documentation . The upgrade itself proceeded without any problems, all very smooth. I noticed some weird shutdown and startup behavior that I mentioned in another thread. Since that post I've been waiting to see if the situation improved as upgrades roll out.
The updates have improved the situation a little, but weird shutdown behavior has continued. On shutdown the green led light (power icon at left) will go off, leading me to believe the computer is turned off. However, it turns out the system has not shut down. I know this because the next day the system won't boot because the battery has been drained. I have to connect the adapter to get it to boot. If I hold down the power key after shutdown for 10 seconds or so the power light will blink red a few times and then stop. At that point the system does seem to be really shut down because I will have battery power the next day.
Power on has improved with the upgrades. First the power light is steady red for 15 seconds or so, then turns green and the booting messages appear on the screen as one would expect.
Except for this, Fedora 33 is working fine. I'm keeping things as they are for the time being just to see if further updating improves ithe situation or maybe I can figure out what the problem is and learn something new. But unless someone is interested in this kind of troubleshooting, I can't recommend upgrading to Fedora 33 at the moment. Fedora 32 worked really well. If the Pine community comes out with a Fedora 33 image I'll probably install that, or eventually revert to Fedora 32.
