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.
I'll keep your advice in mind. Thanks kind internet stranger. ✌🏻
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.
If you are using the officially supported repos you are fine. If are not using official repos I would strongly suggest that you do.
Any external software should be installed in a container (ideally) or in a VM.
Not much
The upgrade turned out to be extremely uneventful!
For me my display was automatically set to 150% scaling for some unknown reason. I changed it to 100% and everything was fine.
