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.

Meanwhile here's me updating shit once a month at most nowadays.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 1 points 7 hours ago

Thats better. Once a month is good.

Do you have to restart? I'm finding that Fedora (KDE or not) is usually very restart happy.

[–] mobotsar@sh.itjust.works 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Mihies@programming.dev 1 points 16 hours ago

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

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Nah I dont restart unless its a massive update of tons of core packages

[–] Mihies@programming.dev 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Mihies@programming.dev 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] unknown1234_5@kbin.earth 1 points 3 hours ago

its in the software updates page, I think its behind a button at the top

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 18 hours ago

I don't think Debian has ever asked me to restart after an update.
