Fedora Magazine states in " How to rebase to Fedora Linux 35 on Silverblue":

Prior to actually doing the rebase to Fedora Linux 35, you should apply any pending updates. Enter the following in the terminal:

$ rpm-ostree update

And in " Updates, Upgrades & Rollbacks":

Once an update is ready, it is just a matter of rebooting to start using the new version. There is no waiting for the update to be installed during this reboot.

If you’d prefer, it is also possible to update using the command line. To do this, run:

$ rpm-ostree upgrade

But I could not find any reference in the man page to a rpm-ostree update command, only to a rpm-ostree upgrade one

Hence: What difference between rpm-ostree update and rpm-ostree upgrade in Fedora Silverblue ?

Thanks

Nothing. It’s the same thing. Just to make it easier so you don’t have to memorize exact phrasing.

rpm-ostree update --help
Usage:
  rpm-ostree update [OPTION…]

Alias for upgrade
