Apps you install show up in the launcher without logging out

Apps you install with rime install, and apps rebuilt after a Fedora upgrade, now appear in the launcher right away instead of after your next login. The desktop also no longer risks starting without its bar when the Shell is restarted.

Published to every image tag (apex, daily, edge, gaming-mesa, gaming-nvidia, rime). All of them are the edge channel today. This page explains the release; it is never consulted by an update. What a machine installs is decided by the registry and the image signature (see Security). Machine-readable: 2026.10.08.json.

If something is wrong

Go back to the image you were running before this one. It becomes the default at the next boot; your files and settings stay as they are.

sudo rime rollback && sudo systemctl reboot

On an APEX-named system the command is apex. You can also pick the previous entry in the boot menu. More in Rolling back and Recovery.
