From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Update handling after rebasing Fedora Silverblue (feddit.de)

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.

I think Ublue is only set to automatically check for updates once per day. If there were only a few updates available, it's possible your system just didn't check yet that day.

See if your /etc/rpm-ostreed.conf has automatic updates set to "stage." I think that should be the default.

See update section in this FAQ, which tells you what config disables automatic updates.

It is already set to stage so i am guessing updates should be applied. But is there anyway to check that this actually happens. Or do have have to wait a few days and see that if the base image has changed by using the rpm-ostree status -v command?

I guess so. I hit the grub menu when booting and I see the image version changing there as well.
