Hello Fedora 33
Back in the day, it was always wise to wait a couple of weeks before upgrading your Linux Distro so that any bugs that happened to slip through the net came to light before you exposed your lovely working environment to the hopes and aspirations of a group of developers. Things have changed since I got into FOSS over twenty years ago and now it's not as risky as it was back then. That's not to say that there are never any problems but on the whole, you're pretty much on safe ground and so with that in mind I upgraded to Fedora 33 this morning.
So far I've only had one issue as reported by SE Linux (TBH SE Linux is a PITA)
SELinux is preventing gdb from write access on the file rpmdb.sqlite-wal.
Plugin catchall_labels (83.8 confidence) suggests
If you want to allow gdb to have write access on the rpmdb.sqlite-wal file
Then you need to change the label on rpmdb.sqlite-wal Do semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE 'rpmdb.sqlite-wal'
where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: abrt_etc_t, abrt_tmp_t, abrt_upload_watch_tmp_t, abrt_var_cache_t, abrt_var_log_t, >abrt_var_run_t, afs_cache_t, initrc_tmp_t, kdump_crash_t, mail_home_rw_t, mock_var_lib_t, postfix_postdrop_t, puppet_tmp_t, >rhsmcertd_var_run_t, rpm_log_t, rpm_var_cache_t, rpm_var_run_t, sysfs_t, user_cron_spool_t, user_tmp_t, usr_t.
Then execute: restorecon -v 'rpmdb.sqlite-wal'
I doubt there'll be any more issues hopefully. Without wanting to sound a killjoy, I can never really see anything different unless here's a new theme or icon set, most of the work is done 'under the hood' so to speak. I'll keep you posted if anything else exciting happens.

I ought to look at upgrading my Ubuntu Studio. They are recommending a re-install as there is a change to use KDE. I've not used that since my Kubuntu days. There's less pressure to upgrade these days as things generally work okay. My Ubuntu upgrades have worked recently, but I ought to do some backups.
The only thing I backup is my .thunderbird file in my home directory. Everything else I store on my NAS as well as some stuff on Dropbox and Google Drive. Once you get in the practice of not saving anything to your hard drive you find that you no longer cry when your install goes belly up.
Most stuff is backed up to Google Drive using Insync. I have a data partition on my big drive and OS goes on the SSD. There's a few bits in home I need to copy over.
I had the whole original recordings, running orders, artwork and a whole host of other valuable Dick Turpin Road Show stuff on a 1TB drive on the computer and lost the lot! Fortunately, with bits we had on the Internet Archive, Matt's systems and some bits on Dropbox we were able to recover 90% of it. From that day I swore I would only ever save to HDD stuff I didn't care about.
I lost some photos when a drive failed. Decided it was worth paying for some cloud storage after that.
Never tried Fedora but I am on the look out of less bloated linux. Ubuntu 20.04 is bloated even the Lubuntu ones. It makes my laptop suffer since it has low specs.
