   So I was being gung-ho and upgrading from Fedora Silverblue 38 to 39 on my laptop when the battery died midway.

   Oh, the horror! 😱

   Can you imagine?! In the middle of an operating system upgrade! Oh, no!

   So I restarted and re-ran the command and finished the upgrade.

   The End.

     (For those of you who might not know, Fedora Silverblue is based on rpm-ostree.

     Think of it as your OS on git.

     Upgrades are like a simple git pull and take almost no time at all, even between major versions. It’s very common that I’m running today’s OS on my machine.

     And if something goes wrong, you can always roll back. Not that I’ve had to yet.)

     @aral 😄 this little story really cheered me up just now! Perfect antidote to unpleasant messages

     @aral I've been wanting to try it, but the lack of Orca in the installer is a big issue for me, either that or the installer won't let the key combination go through, it certainly doesn't let you use alt f2 to run a command. I would bootstrap it from a Fedora iso, but I can't find an up to date guide or anything on the official fedora docs telling you how this works.

     @aral I really like the whole idea of Fedora SilverBlue but last time I checked, you can't dual boot and I dual boot two distros, I know I can use a VM but I prefer it this way. I just want to know, is there any limitation that dual booting is not doable in immutable distro like Fedora SilverBlue.

     @pikachu_sensei No idea, sorry, one main OS is more than enough for my limited use cases ;)
