If it's the Gnome version, gnome-software will (should) work. I prefer yumex-dnf. You can also use dnf in a terminal window.

dnf install yumex-dnf

Yumex is included in all Korora versions. it is the preferred gui.

BTW you can get Korora support at https://kororaproject.org/support/engage

Is Yumex the same as Yum Extender? I see the Yum Extender but not Yumex

Yes that is the proper name for it. yumex-dnf is the package name

So Yum Extender is the software package manager that's needed to install all the software needed for this distribution.

Thanks so much

I found that termnal mode and dnf works just fine,

For updates

sudo dnf update -y

yumex dnf version works fine too.. From GUI or command line

yumex

if you have chosen gnome-wayland, yumex may not start from the command line
On my computer, command line yumex fails with gnome-wayland
but works with regular gnome.
