Do you have to restart? I'm finding that Fedora (KDE or not) is usually very restart happy.
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.
Settings > software update > apply system updates . set it to immediately
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.
they did because live patching has a lot more that can go wrong so they made the name reflect that risk. ofc you should get to choose so the setting is there.
its in the software updates page, I think its behind a button at the top
It's where @[email protected] suggested. Thanks both, I've set it to immediately and first update went without restart. Fingers crossed.
