<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/how-to-rebase-to-fedora-33-on-silverblue.png" width="1024" height="725" 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 33 on your Silverblue system, this article tells you how. It not only shows you what to do, but also how to revert things if something unforeseen happens.</p>

<p>Prior to actually doing the rebase to Fedora 33, you should apply any pending updates. Enter the following in the terminal:</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">$ rpm-ostree update</pre>
<p>or install updates through GNOME Software and 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>Click on <em>Restart</em> button and you are done. After restart you will end up in new and shiny release of Fedora 33. Easy, isn’t it?</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 33 using terminal is easy. First, check if the 33 branch is available:</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/33/x86_64/silverblue</pre>
<p>Next, rebase your system to the Fedora 33 branch.</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">$ rpm-ostree rebase fedora:fedora/33/x86_64/silverblue</pre>
<p>Finally, the last thing to do is restart your computer and boot to Fedora 33.</p>
<h2>How to roll back</h2>
<p>If anything bad happens—for instance, if you can’t boot to Fedora 33 at all—it’s easy to go back. Pick the previous entry in the GRUB menu at boot, and your system will start in its previous state before switching to Fedora 33. 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 33 and roll back. So why not do it today?</p>
