Hello @beganovich

Use:

sudo dnf install --allowerasing https://rpms.remirepo.net/fedora/remi-release-37.rpm

This repo is designed to only install in Fedora mainstream and not in any Fedora Remix, as it has the fedora-release package as a hard dependency.

The above command will remove the generic-release package and install the fedora-release only, converting the Fedora Remix into Fedora. You should not experience any issues, but I recommend you back up your distro before doing that.

Regards, Carlos

That seems to be working, thanks 👍
