<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/how-to-rebase-to-fedora-32-on-silverblue.png" width="1024" height="722" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>Silverblue is <a href="https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-silverblue/">an operating system for your desktop built on Fedora</a>. It’s excellent for daily use, development, and container-based workflows. It offers <a href="https://fedoramagazine.org/give-fedora-silverblue-a-test-drive/">numerous advantages</a> such as being able to roll back in case of any problems. If you want to update to Fedora 32 on your Silverblue system, this article tells you how. It not only shows you what to do, but also how to revert back things if anything unforeseen happens.</p>
<p>Prior to actually doing the rebase to Fedora 32, it is recommended to perform any pending updates. This is accomplished by entering the following at the terminal </p>
<div class="codecolorer-container text default" style="overflow:auto;border:1px solid #9F9F9F;width:435px">
<div class="text codecolorer" style="padding:5px;font:normal 12px/1.4em Monaco, Lucida Console, monospace">rpm-ostree update</div>
</div>
<p> or installing updates through GNOME Software and following with a system reboot.</p>
<h2>Rebasing using GNOME Software</h2>
<p>The GNOME Software shows you that there is new version of Fedora available on the Updates screen.</p>

</p>
<h2>Rebasing using terminal</h2>
<p>If you prefer to do everything in a terminal, than this next guide is for you.</p>
<p>Rebasing to Fedora 32 using terminal is easy. First, check if the 32 branch is available, which should be true now:</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">$ ostree remote refs fedora</pre>
<p>You should see the following in the output:</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">fedora:fedora/32/x86_64/silverblue</pre>
<p>Next, rebase your system to the Fedora 32 branch.</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">$ rpm-ostree rebase fedora:fedora/32/x86_64/silverblue</pre>
<p>Finally, the last thing to do is restart your computer and boot to Fedora 32.</p>
<h2>How to revert things back</h2>
<p>If anything bad happens — for instance, if you can’t boot to Fedora 32 at all — it’s easy to go back. Just pick the previous entry in GRUB, and your system will start in its previous state before switching to Fedora 32. To make this change permanent, use the following command:</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">$ rpm-ostree rollback</pre>
<p>That’s it. Now you know how to rebase Silverblue to Fedora 32 and back. So why not do it today?</p>
