Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
About the project
Is it Team Silverblue, Silverblue, or Fedora Silverblue?
We chose the name Team Silverblue to refer to the overall project. Fedora Silverblue will be used for the OS that we are producing, but calling it Silverblue in its short version is fine as well.
Why does the Silverblue logo look like a leaf?
Our favorite choice for a project name was Silverleaf, but that sadly did not work out. We just couldn't quite let go of the leaf. You could also say that Silverblue is a new leaf on Fedora's OSTree. 😀
Is Silverblue another GNOME OS?
GNOME OS was a codename that was used by the upstream GNOME project for a while to refer to the idea of designing the entire desktop user experience. By contrast, Silverblue is an effort inside the Fedora project, and will be built with existing Fedora technologies. However, the two efforts do share a desire to deliver a user experience that is polished and coherent.
What is {variant-name}'s relationship with {alternative-name}, Fedora IoT and Fedora CoreOS?
{variant-name} uses the same core technology as {alternative-name}, Fedora IoT and Fedora CoreOS. However, {variant-name} is specifically focused on workstation and desktop use cases with the {variant-desktop}.
About using {variant-name}
How can I play more videos in Firefox, like YouTube?
Firefox is included in the OS image for now (see https://github.com/fedora-silverblue/issue-tracker/issues/288[issue#288] for progress on moving to Flatpak by default). Until that changes, getting it to play videos works the same way as it does for the regular {variant-classic}: find a package with the needed codecs, and install it. The one difference is that you use `rpm-ostree install` instead of `dnf install`. An alternative solution is to install https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.mozilla.firefox[Firefox from Flathub].
How do I create a VPN connection?
`/etc` is not part of the immutable OS image, so you can just copy files into `/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections` (or let NetworkManager store them there when you recreate your connections). Certificates in `/etc/pki` need to be handled similarly.
How can I install my preferred IDE on {variant-name}?
You can install most IDE directly in a toolbox where you can also install all the developments tools from the Fedora repositories. To be able to launch them directly from menus, you can copy the `.desktop` file for the IDE from the toolbox to your home directory in `~/.local/share/applications/`. You should then update the `Exec` line in the `.desktop` file to prepend `toolbox run` to start it from the toolbox. You can also use the IDEs packaged as Flatpaks from Flathub.
How can I see what packages were updated between two commits?
If you want to compare the booted deployment with the pending deployment (or rollback deployment), simply issue:
$ rpm-ostree db diff
You can also see the RPM changelog by adding the `-c` option like so: `rpm-ostree db diff -c`
If you want to see which packages were updated between two specific commits:
find out which two commits you want to compare by issuing:
$ ostree log <ref>
