So the cool thing about Fedora Silverblue? I’m rebasing to the latest Fedora 37 beta now (mostly to play with GNOME 43). If anything goes wrong, I enter one command in terminal and I’m back to the exact latest version of Fedora 36 I was using before :)

How to rebase to Fedora Silverblue 37 Beta – Fedora Community Blog
Silverblue is an operating system for your desktop built on Fedora Linux. It’s excellent for daily use, development, and container-based workflows. It offers numerous advantages such as being able to roll back in case of any problems.zlopez (Fedora Project)

In practice:
error: Could not depsolve transaction; 2 problems detected:
Problem 1: conflicting requests
- nothing provides system-release(36) needed by rpmfusion-free-release-36-1.noarch
Problem 2: conflicting requests
🤷♂️

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •Specifically, to fix this issue:
1. Run:
rpm-ostree update --uninstall rpmfusion-free-release --uninstall rpmfusion-nonfree-release --install rpmfusion-free-release --install rpmfusion-nonfree-release
2. Re-run the rebase:
rpm-ostree rebase fedora:fedora/37/x86_64/silverblue
3. Reboot:
systemctl reboot
#fedoraSilverblue

Nice! :)

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •Also, excellent first-run GNOME Software experience on Fedora Silverblue 37. Had about 28 updates listed, everything installed beautifully (with lovely row slide/disappear animations for installed apps).
(There were first-run issues with GNOME Software on Fedora Silverblue 36.)

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •I tried Silverblue 36 two days ago, and for me it was a very odd experience. I now installed workstation, which gave me decidedly less trouble.
the software center in particular just was too buggy for me.
Aral Balkan
in reply to Claudius (legacy account) • • •@claudius It was buggy in 36.
Also, having used it for some time now, I think the conventional wisdom of “always run in a container” is backwards. I should write something about this.
