    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!

      If Fedora plays nice this time around, I’m seriously considering Kinninte and Atomic Budgie for 41. (But Fedora always ends badly for me)

      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.
