I just did a fresh install in a VM and I see the default set of flatpaks has evidently changed. I have a few systems running bluefin-gts that I installed some time ago. I think the rpm-ostree updates will not install/modify flatpaks. Is there a way to see what has been added as default in the from-scratch ISO install to help determine if there is anything interesting I may want to manually install?

You can run ‘flatpak list --app’ to get list of flatpaks on both systems and compare.
Yeah, that’s how I figured out that they changed but in the normal case I won’t have a system that is freshly installed from the ISO.
You could also check flatpak config commits on GitHub. For example base Aurora flatpaks history is here: History for aurora_flatpaks/flatpaks - ublue-os/aurora · GitHub
ujust install-system-flatpaks will always pull the latest. We added a few this cycle, the plan was to just mention this in the release notes.
That’s awesome. Exactly what I was looking for to make sure my custom blue-build made systems can track.

Thanks, that’s a nice recipe.
Note that the ujust recipe install-system-flatpaks is marked [private], so that it doesn’t appear in the help and it is invisible in the ujust chooser menu. Is that the intention?
Yeah we didn’t want to clutter up the menu (there’s too much stuff in there as it is), but this one might be more useful to have more discoverable?
