Even back in the Windows 3.1 or 95 days I didn’t have to reboot this often - sometimes twice a day. Seems a bit excessive?

    Fedora is nicest when you use a lot of flatpaks imo. They just update constantly in the background without reboot.

    Only system updates need reboot.

      Even better: Silverblue! (I use uBlue)

      Everything gets updated in the background without even needing intervention, not even a “you need to click here to download and reboot to apply changes”-notification.

      I shut down my PC every few days when I leave the house for longer and boot into the next base-image without even noticing.

      And if I do because something doesn’t work, I just select the image from yesterday.

      Oh yeah, and 99% of my apps are Flatpaks anyway, which auto-update too by default.

      I just don’t notice my OS in any way, I just work with it. Lovely!

        I agree, I actually use Silverblue as well. The only thing I added was a script to auto update distrobox too.
