Just upgraded my Silverblue installation. It was boring. It just downloaded while I kept working, one reboot, and it just works. Nothing to fix or tweak. What now?

Early release is a nice surprise, especially after F40 (or was it 39?) got delayed so many times. Upgrade went smooth for me, upstream accent colors are nice to finally have. Kind of a bummer it doesn't apply to Nautilus icons though.

I booted into Bazzite this evening and noticed my lock screen had changed, I assumed there had been a major update of some kind. I'm impressed both with how quickly I got this and with how entirely seamless this whole experience has been so far.
This'll be my first Silverblue major version update. What am I in for?
I just did it. You're in for a reboot. That's about it, unless you layered a bunch of stuff.
I maaaay have layered some stuff that I couldn't find flatpaks for. 🥺
I used to have issues with like rpmfusion repos and the like, worst case you may need to now the packages you have layered, do an rpm-ostree reset, upgrade, then layer the packages again. There's a way to install the rpmfusion repos that didn't break updates, I forget if they've updated the docs on the site to use it, I stopped layering almost everything in favor of flatpak or toolbx.
It won't matter of you layered a bunch of stuff
It will if the repos are specific to a fedora release version. That's been a thing with rpmfusion in the past, not sure it still is.
Nice! I was waiting for this release to do a fresh install over my previous Fedora installation that I had installed using Ventoy.
