Following the official guide:

(https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/commerce-operations/upgrade-guide/prepare/prerequisites.html?lang=en)

I understood the right command to run:

composer require magento/composer-root-update-plugin ~2.0 --no-update

then you can run the command with 2 params:

base-project-edition and base-project-version

for example:

composer require-commerce magento/product-community-edition 2.4.4 --no-update --base-project-edition 'Open Source' --base-project-version 2.4.2
