So I am trying out fedora silverblue and recently rebased it to uBlue to get access to hardware decoding for non-free codecs and for some QoL improvements. Before rebasing, I used to get both system updates(update to image that silverblue is based on) and flatpak updates through the gui package manager(gnome-software in this case) but since i rebased, i was not getting any notifications for system updates. I ran rpm-ostree upgrade and then it pulled from the manifest and updated the system using the updated image. For some reason gnome-software did not know this new image was available.
My question is does this mean that i will have to run rpm-ostree upgrade to update from now or will gnome-software handle it? I have no problem using the terminal but gnome-software is more convenient and I am lazy.
More than like likely yes, although you shouldn’t have to and this is not expected behavior. Same thing happened to me with Kinoite. Twice. I still got flatpak upgrades through Discover but no longer system upgrades, or the system upgrades would appear but error out. I just decided to not rebase anymore after the third reinstall and use toolbox for everything that didn’t have a flatpak available.
