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.

    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.
