I don’t think the first two are distro specific, more a question of mindset. Unless there are distros that force update your system like some other OSs, which could cause the second picture to happen more often.
Neat! I was just thinking, if it starts updating the kernel as you turn it off, you’d have to wait a minute for it to finish. M$ style. Has that never happened?
No. That’s not how it works. It installs a new image alongside the current one and once you boot again it simply boots into the new image. Never ever wait for an update again.
Fedora atomic, e.g. silverblue, not traditional fedora.
It still wants to reboot after each update but I don’t see it and when I reboot, it boots into the update.
What are the distros that would align with these categories?
Cool, more free stuff:
Not again!
Ooh, only Ubuntu pro:
1st: Fedora
2nd: Arch
Debian would be: “nothing changed!” (with a sad or happy guy depending on use case)
With Debian it’s more like “cool, everything still works as expected.”
Source: I don’t use Arch btw.
indeed
Your arch system would probably have updates unless you just updated within the last few minutes. Being suprised seems a bit unnecessary.
I sometimes update out of habit almost immediately after I updated. That’s always a little disappointing.
And then you actually have a new update available… Happens to me to often

Oh god, me too. It’s a Pavlovian response!
Finally, a use for the
* * * * * *cron expression!If you’re on Arch, then you want those tasty hourly updates om nom nom
source: I use Arch btw
All I wanna do is sudo pacman -Syu
paru -Syu, you don’t want to forget your AUR packages, right?You can do the same with just
paru. No flags necessary.Or save yourself a character and just
yayHeathen, using any software not written in rust is sacrilege
pacman -R linux-*
I’ll even add some characters and use pikaur
I like to be a bit more explicit than necessary.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Unless you’re trying to get a movie or game to get a teen-friendly rating, in which case you might not want to make the sex scenes quite as explicit.
I have seen horrors beyond comprehension because i tried updating aur packages
Well, it’s easy enough if you only use precompiled packages. Beyond that you should probably have a better understanding of what you are doing.
Oh no i know what im doing. I just had dependency hell way to often with aur packages so i just dont update them anymore unless i need to do so
Not being able to Syu every 5 minutes and only being able to update once a day was the biggest challenge when I changed to NixOS

On fedora atomic all updates are automatic. I don’t even see that they happen. They just happen in the background. I love it.
Neat! I was just thinking, if it starts updating the kernel as you turn it off, you’d have to wait a minute for it to finish. M$ style. Has that never happened?
No. That’s not how it works. It installs a new image alongside the current one and once you boot again it simply boots into the new image. Never ever wait for an update again.
Oh right, atomic distros work differently, didn’t think about that! That is convenient!
How are you getting it to do that? Fedora wants to reboot every day for me, even for the simplest update.
Fedora atomic, e.g. silverblue, not traditional fedora. It still wants to reboot after each update but I don’t see it and when I reboot, it boots into the update.
If Fedora plays nice this time around, I’m seriously considering Kinninte and Atomic Budgie for 41. (But Fedora always ends badly for me)
The first could be any decent distro like Debian, Fedora, Mint.
The second would probably be rolling release because of the amount of packages lmao.
I was thinking that the user intentionally chose their distro, because of the Ubuntu character.
Arch, you want more free stuff faster
Debian, you want to set and forget, so any updates that do come up are still a nuisance
