    Due to an unfortunate combination of issues, the Fedora Silverblue, Kinoite and IoT variants that are running a version from 36.20220810.0 and later are no longer able to update to the latest version.

    You can use these two commands to work around the bugs:

    $ sudo find /boot/efi -exec touch '{}' ';'
    $ sudo touch /etc/kernel/cmdline

    Afterwards, you can update your system as usual with GNOME Software (on Silverblue) or via:

    $ sudo rpm-ostree upgrade

    These two issues are rooted in GRUB2 bugs that have only landed in Fedora and do not affect CentOS Stream 9 or RHEL. This also does not affect Fedora CoreOS for different reasons.
