I actually released a new version addressing this:

Btw, I think, I have a good idea, how to display the content of --preview, UI wise. On my machine it takes approximately as long as --check. So I could use it, instead of preview and then display the upcoming changes with the + Button (which could have a integrated drop down.)

I need to check, how much complexity that adds, or if there is a clever way to implement that.

So the + button shows up if update --check returns that there is something to update. But I’m not sure what additional info it provides which is worth displaying.

What do you think of?

Btw. it’s not on Github, but on Codeberg.org 😀️

Do you mean rpm-ostree upgrade --preview?

Hmm I wonder how a nice UI could look like…

I’m not sure how much advantages a preview option for downloading would have. After having done the regular download, one sees the not yet started image (with the ⏳ next to it), then you can inspect and delete it, if you want. Or is there some more things you could do with preview?

Thanks for the feedback. When you do the + and select branch, a rebase button appears, When you press that, it will rebase. There is currently no fetch option.

It does not modify things itself. It only uses the commands you would use yourself in the terminal, it just simplifies their usage. Imho it’s safe to use and I use it on my production systems as well.

Other than that, some feedback for long running tasks could be improved, or batch changes added…

So to the latest version you can now revert overrides (feedback that the system is working could still be improved)

Not yet. I’m thinking about it, but I’m not sure, how much effort it will be.

You mean, not just displaying (which works already now), but adding/removing packages?

However, this could also be left up to the user by labeling the applications accordingly, as is the case with proprietary applications. When it comes to quality, I’d say: you can produce poor-quality code even without AI, but it’s a lot more work 😀️

Why do they accept proprietary apps and no ai assisted ones… I don’t get it…

Gnome too, btw 😉

I agree, that would be really neat. I also thought about that!

Very cool. Thank you for sharing.

More features do usually not lead to better UI/UX

I’m everytime amazed how good the adwaita ui looks

I assume it’s rather to improve the ability to cross compile Gnome applications so they can run on macOS.

Looks pretty cool. Has anyone experience how well pen and touch works together on Gnome? Is eg touch deactivated when the pen is active?

But it’s a good starting point. Better than inventing everything from the scratch.

It’s not me, but that’s weird. Thanks for the hint. I’ll remove it.
