#7 Upgrading via gnome-software rebases to Silverblue
Closed by boniboyblue. Opened by boniboyblue.

Closed
Reopen Issue

In the process of upgrading Fedora 42 Budgie Atomic which I did via the gnome-software prompt. When this finished and I rebooted it seem it has rebased to Fedora Silverblue.

Yes this is known and was already reported with issue #5 and resolved by swapping out GNOME Software for Discover (from KDE).

Are you certain this is resolved as it just seems Discover has been added alongside gnome-software and not replaced so this will likely still happen?

Would it not be better to remove gnome-software?

GNOME Software should not be included, but I'm not sure if it just being removed from comps results in it being removed from existing installs.

I've double-checked and installed a fresh Fedora 43 Budgie Atomic onto a new VM and both gnome-software & discover are both included on the image.

I should also note that gnome-software is pinned to the taskbar by default so very likely new users will see this as the primary method of GUI software installation and if they ever upgrade will likely be hit by this bug.
