At least this is still you choosing when to update
yeah, I just thought it was funny that ive been checking literally daily since I switched to Linux.
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.
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.
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)?
Nah I dont restart unless its a massive update of tons of core packages
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.
its in the software updates page, I think its behind a button at the top
I don't think Debian has ever asked me to restart after an update.
I just want my software to leave me the fuck alone and update automatically. Why is this so difficult?
Theres an option in Fedora KDE but it has never worked for me for some reason…?
I'm pretty sure it's a KDE setting somewhere as there are settings for everything.
Same.
There's probably an option in your distro to automatically install updates, but it's annoying when that happens when you're in the middle of something or if they require restarts
As much as I hate to praise Windows, that's why they have "update and shut down" when there are updates available.
yay --noconfirm && poweroff
I think you may have glossed over the "automatically" part.
Set up a cron job or systemd timer and have your computer suddenly powerdown.
Brother, I am not a programmer and do not know what any of these words mean, and am not interested in becoming one. I just want to use a computer. This is precisely why I can't use Linux.
Then how do you know that the magic spell I gave you doesn't do it "automatically"? Either you're lying and you actually a programmer, since we know you need to be a programmer to be able to read, or you somehow figured out how to read it without being one, but that would be crazy, absolutely crazy.
Anyway, if for some reason you need your system to decide when to update and reboot, there is an easily googlable setting for it, and if you just need to emulate window's "update and shutdown" button, I gave you it for my preferred Linux distribution, and it's not more complicated on all the other ones.
Because I know enough to know that commands don't run themselves.
Well, "update and shutdown" button is a button, it also doesn't press itself. I hope you're being intentionally obtuse, at least this way someone is having fun
No, but the updates are downloaded automatically and the button is changed from "shut down" to "update and shut down" automatically. And I don't appreciate your unwarranted insinuations.
Except from the cron job part. Which is exactly what that's for
I am not a programmer and do not know what any of these words mean
If I recall Windows correctly, a scheduled task.
I don't know what that is either.
This is a thing in all KDE distros I know. Once Discover downloaded them, they will be installed on next shutdown / reboot.
Have not gotten this feature to work on Fedora, seems nice if it would work automatically
Never seen it. And KDE nags me incessantly about updates.
Never actually shuts down for me. Always have to shutdown manually after the update.
Not really going to debate the efficacy, just the concept.
Kubuntu at least also has this option!
When you run sid and update some times 7 times in a day 😁
@unknown1234_5 I want my software to be updated in the background but limited to using only 10% of any resource (bandwidth, CPU etc) while doing so.
I can always set it to automatic somehow, but I never saw those utilities offering a maximum download speed or CPU/Disk utilization setting in any distro.
