Fedora Silverblue 40 is out today. If you have rpm-fusion layered so you can’t upgrade through GNOME Software, run these commands in Terminal:
1. Pin current version:
sudo ostree admin pin 0
2. Handle rpm-fusion nastiness:
rpm-ostree update --uninstall rpmfusion-free-release --uninstall rpmfusion-nonfree-release --install rpmfusion-free-release --install rpmfusion-nonfree-release
3. Rebase to Fedora Silverblue 40:
rpm-ostree rebase fedora:fedora/40/x86_64/silverblue

https://github.com/fedora-silverblue/issue-tracker/issues/536
Which I worked around by removing mozilla-openh264 before running the rebase again, at which point it succeeded:
rpm-ostree remove mozilla-openh264

(Just tried reinstalling mozilla-openh264 – so videos work in Firefox – but it failed with the same error. Not a big deal, I’m using @Vivaldi as my main browser these days anyway and I guess the Fedora folks will fix this in time.)
More importantly, I wonder if the screen reader has been fixed yet. (Yes, Fedora ships with a broken screen reader.)

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •Just checked and yes, the screen reader is still broken in Fedora 40. (Cannot be controlled; keyboard shortcuts/modifier key doesn’t work.)
So this is yet another release where the screen reader is broken by default.
It’s amazing to me that this is not a showstopper.
