The tutorial has been tested on Fedora but it should also be valid for other distributions in the Red Hat domain such as CentOS, Alma Linux and Rocky Linux.

### Updating Brave browser on Fedora Linux
You have added a repository for the browser and also imported its key. Your system trusts the packages coming from this repository.
So, when there is a new Brave browser release and it is made available to this repository, you’ll get it through the regular system upgrades.
In other words, you don’t have to do anything special. Just keep your Fedora system updated and if there is a new version from Brave, it should be automatically installed with system updates.
