We'll also need to include expected feature differences between the two so they know what to expect before transitioning.

Added the command to transition back and some expected differences in eae2c00, let me know if either of you think anything important is missing or if anything in the list of differences looks inaccurate.
(Also moved the new section to the bottom of the page, as it's now too much information to slip in the middle without interrupting the flow for someone who's just trying to install an update.)

Documents the option to transition to Open Firmware. This may be moved lower in the article down the road (since future products will ship with Open Firmware and won't need to transition), but for right now, this seems like a logical place to put it. The header of this section can be linked to directly in social posts, if desired.
I'm adding
apt updateto the steps for installing since an outdated version of system76-firmware-cli would silently discard the--openoption (or any other invalid option.)
