Glances on SilverBlue after an update

Work around immutable OSes

Just updated from silverblue 34 to 35 with:

rpm-ostree rebase fedora:fedora/35/x86_64/silverblue

The update went very smooth, however there were a few minor caveats.

  1. My Fedora 34 toolbox was inop
  2. Had to add/update to a fedora 35 container
  3. created ansible script to make migration easier
