   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.

     @destructatron I’m so sorry, I hadn’t realised the Fedora Silverblue installer isn’t accessible.

     @aral @destructatron Good catch and thanks for bringing it up! We'll pass this along to the Accessibility Working Group and to the folks working on the new Anaconda installer.

     @destructatron Thanks for the feedback! We'll pass this along as well.

     Improving accessibility on Fedora is actually one of our objectives in our five year plan for 2028. If you have more feedback, please let us know in our contributor forum and tag the DEI Team as they're the ones leading this.

     Talking on Mastodon also works. :)

     @fedora @aral Sounds good! While we're on the subject of accessibility, the initial setup after fedora workstation gets installed needs a look. The wi-fi networks list is totally unusable with Orca and actually stops me from going any further, which forces me to use the mate compiz iso, install it, install the workstation group, and then remove mate.
     Aral Balkan repeated this.

     @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 ;)

     @felipe_ibarra @fedora @destructatron @aral that kind of thing is more of a job for #gnome . we don't do extensive development/customization on desktop environments downstream in fedora. stuff like making sure accessibility features work in the installer definitely is our job, though...

     @fedora @destructatron @aral
     Hello!
     Taking advantage of this thread, I would like to make a request for the next version of Fedora.
     Can you add an option to handle the magnifier zoom using a shortcut key and the mouse wheel?
     In other Operating Systems like Windows, MacOS and even in other desktop environments like Cinnamon they have this option in their accessibility settings.
