    I’m an annoyed fedora user and it seems every day there’s an update that requires reboot to install. I want the latest patches to keep the system secure, but this is annoying, and I use 2 laptops.

      You can change that in system settings on KDE

      System settings -> Software Update -> Apply system updates immediately

      Not sure if it’s the same on GNOME

        No, there is not. Updating through terminal still bypasses it and I don’t mind so much seeing how my mother might accidentally power it off in the middle an important update otherwise. Most people know not to hit the power button when the scary load bar pops up with a message saying please do not power off system.

      Yeah, I’m using Fedora KDE and Budgie on a laptop and mini-desktop. There were a boatload of updates over the weekend. I understand the safety of doing a reboot to be up to date, but it does give me flashbacks to Wondows.

      But, you can use sudo dnf upgrade and only need to reboot when you want to. Updating through Discover tends to make you reboot a lot.
