I've activated automatic updates in Gnome Software Center. Now more and more updates are shown to me here. Even after a reboot, the update notifications are still there.
If I manually click on "update all" and reboot, the update notifications disappear, but I actually thought, after reading the documentation, that updates would require no action from me at all, and that's what I want.

The weird thing is, the installed programs themselves claim to already be on the new, updated version.
So why are the updates still shown in the Software Center?

Silverblue has Firefox installed as an RPM.

There are multiple ways to add the missing codecs, the easiest one is to add the rpmfusion RPMs, reboot and install libavcodec-freeworld.

So I suppose you have the Flatpak AND the RPM installed. I would recommend the Fedora RPM, it works great and is really fast.

Also, you get more answers on discussion.fedoraproject.org

The Signal one will just be a metadata issue.

flatpak update -y
kill -9 gnome-software
pkcon refresh

I personally haven't noticed this, but I've also only used the software center to install an update once as opposed to just letting them update automatically. Are these the flatpak versions or installed at the system level?
