Even back in the Windows 3.1 or 95 days I didn’t have to reboot this often - sometimes twice a day. Seems a bit excessive?

    I am using Nobara, which is a Fedora based gaming distro. I definitely do not have to reboot for updates to software outside of system updates to the OS specifically. Updating Discord, Firefox, Steam, Heroic Launcher, Signal, etc does not require a reboot. Something sounds amiss. I am running straight Fedora on my Surface Pro and same story there, basically restart for system upgrades only.

      Doesn’t your Fedora classify 99% of all updates as “system” which arrive almost every day? Before I figured out that I could disable offline updates, I had the same user experience as OP. Well, I ignored it when it told me that I needed to reboot…
