As the Gnome version (non-mutable, meaning not Silverblue) does not update a thing, even a browser. It updates during the reboot, by rebooting into some special state, akin to macOS (and perhaps Windows, haven’t been using one for decades) then it reboots again.

Since the latest update of Fedora (50? I lost the count at this point) it does the reboot even when you ask to shutdown the computer after updates.

What the fuck?

My interest in ever using Fedora has now decreased even further. What are they trying to do, copy the shitty Windows update method exactly? No other Linux distro I've ever tried has done shit like that.

Hey, but in general Fedora is very good and I can recommend it. This annoying update behaviour bears some meaning for some reason, so I can tolerate that.

It’s not that the system forces you to update. It’s you who is in control. Most times updates take minutes, with version upgrades taking like half an hour (twice a year).
