It's choice vs force.
I like that on Linux I can install the updates and know that the ones that require a restart will just be ready the next time I restart at my leisure. And if I don't feel like restarting right away, it won't nag me about it and maybe just restart on its own if it decides I've put it off for too long.
And I can't believe my previous "solution" to that was to give ms even more money for win 10 pro (to get access to the paywalled settings) only to still feel like ms thought it was their computer that they allowed me to use.
And soon(tm) we'll have wayland session restore when we do restart!
never really got the point of that kind of stuff but looking at the demand I'm glad its getting added (eventually) since everyone else clearly wants it.
exactly my thoughts. I'm in control here but it also does stuff the way that makes sense on its own whenever I dont mess with it.
At least this is still you choosing when to update
yeah, I just thought it was funny that ive been checking literally daily since I switched to Linux.
If you want you can setup automatic updates in kde settings. They will always stay out of your way and download in the background. They will install if you chose to click "update and shutdown" next time you shutdown or restart your computer.
i have it set up like that but I'm really impatient
I struggle to only update once a week. I'd update daily if it weren't such a waste on the servers.
Its Wednesday and I'm fiending for my Friday update.
Do you have to restart? I'm finding that Fedora (KDE or not) is usually very restart happy.
Fedora updates the kernel and other packages that get loaded into memory at boot time more frequently than other non-rolling distros, which of course necessitates more frequent restarts.
Nah I dont restart unless its a massive update of tons of core packages
Restarting is good for a computer's health, right? I think my Kubuntu laptop is the only machine in my house that averages less than two weeks of uptime
My CachyOS (Arch) desktop gets rebooted somewhat often because it suggests I reboot after some upgrades. I guess it's kernel upgrades, but I'm not sure which do and don't trigger that recommendation. Nor do I really know how important it is lol.
yes, iirc the general advice is to restart like once a week. its not a huge deal if you wait a little longer (two is fine) its just a guideline.
I just want my software to leave me the fuck alone and update automatically. Why is this so difficult?
There's probably an option in your distro to automatically install updates, but it's annoying when that happens when you're in the middle of something or if they require restarts
As much as I hate to praise Windows, that's why they have "update and shut down" when there are updates available.
This is a thing in all KDE distros I know. Once Discover downloaded them, they will be installed on next shutdown / reboot.
Theres an option in Fedora KDE but it has never worked for me for some reason…?
I'm pretty sure it's a KDE setting somewhere as there are settings for everything.
Thanks man 👍
Sorry for not being more helpful, I do almost everything on the command line..
I think it's called muon, or these days discovery, maybe.. there you should be able to configure auto updates
Same.
But it's such an excitement!
Automatic updates don't give you the pleasure to see what changed and update and test new features out
