OK, it turns out I do have one big gripe about Fedora. At least the KDE version of it, I have no idea if the Gnome version is the same way.

There are updates to Fedora almost every day. That's not my gripe. My gripe is that Fedora forces me to reboot every time those damn updates are downloaded before it will apply them. And because the updates are ALMOST EVERY DAY that means I'm rebooting my fucking desktop ALMOST EVERY DAY and it is a pain in the ass, because HEY I'M TRYING TO USE MY COMPUTER

@ubersoft That's also the default behavior of Gnome Software. (Although every day updaates aren't common.)

I use the command line and then check /var/run to see if a file named, reboot-required is present. The harder thing to see is if you need to restart the graphical shell, but apt now indicates that you are still running outdated packages, which a logoff/on fixes.

@lwriemen I guess it doesn't technically happen every day, but multiple times a week, more often than not. The thing that gets me the most about it is the updates do NOT prompt me for a password. They download then force me to reboot to apply.
