Hi everyone,
I’m new to Fedora (Kinoite) and I’ve recently applied some changes to my Kinoite 43 system, following the advice on rpmfusion.org:

sudo rpm-ostree install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

rpm-ostree install intel-media-driver

rpm-ostree install \
        gstreamer1-plugin-libav \
        gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-extras \
        gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld \
        gstreamer1-plugins-ugly \
        gstreamer1-vaapi \
        --allow-inactive

rpm-ostree override remove \
             fdk-aac-free \
             libavcodec-free \
             libavdevice-free \
             libavfilter-free \
             libavformat-free \
             libavutil-free \
             libpostproc-free \
             libswresample-free \
             libswscale-free \
             ffmpeg-free \
        --install ffmpeg

and the end result is this :

rpm-ostree status

How would I undo these changes if it created issues or conflicts with future updates/upgrades? Would I need to uninstall the packages and install the base packages back? Wouldn’t it be simpler to run $ rpm-ostree rebase fedora:fedora/43/x86_64/kinoite ?

Thank you for your help!

You should just be able to do a

sudo rpm-ostree reset

and go back to the base image of your current deployment as it was shipped by fedora. It should remove the layered packages and add back the packages you’ve removed.
