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.

    So it is just because they do more when upgrading if I understand you correctly (actually these restarts are daily occurrence)?

    They are saying that boot related packages (kernel, etc.) are being work on more frequently than other booting-required distros.

    They might be spending their time on other things or whatever. Just that fedora is focusing that direction, heavily and regularly for quite a while. I'd say especially since 42 not that i have any history beyond 40. I came from a place I despised but couldn't find one that worked as well and stably til i got to trying Fedora. I did, like a decade ago or more, but it wasn't like it is now to me then.

    On fedora that is? Because "my" fedora want to install system stuff only during restart (if updated from app at least).

    You can toggle that off in the menu if youre on KDE. I'm on nobara though not fedora so maybe its different.

    Where exactly do I find that setting? But I fear it won't work with fedora.

    When I first started using Fedora I hesitated to turn this setting on because, to me, it sounds like it's going to install stuff automatically without asking. I feel like it's badly named and confusing. Now I suspect they named it poorly on purpose because they really want people to restart to install updates.
