I just want my software to leave me the fuck alone and update automatically. Why is this so difficult?

[–] maxwellfire@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 6 points 2 months ago (3 children)

As much as I hate to praise Windows, that's why they have "update and shut down" when there are updates available.

[–] BlueKey@fedia.io 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Never seen it. And KDE nags me incessantly about updates.

[–] Asparagus0098@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You can change the update notification frequency somewhere in settings. Pretty sure you can disable it too.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The problem is not that it nags me, the problem is that it expects me to manually approve updates.

[–] SqueakyBeaver@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I believe there's a setting either in Discover (the KDE "app store") in the main plasma settings (somewhere in the "updates" section? That might be somewhere else, I don't remember) that will automatically install updates without you needing to approve them.

And there's also a setting that will wait to install them until the next boot. When I had that setting on, it only added maybe 10 seconds to my startup time when I needed to apply something like a kernel update.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

There is. It doesn't do anything.

[–] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

yay --noconfirm && poweroff

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago

I think you may have glossed over the "automatically" part.

[–] maxwellfire@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Kubuntu at least also has this option!

[–] cevn@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Theres an option in Fedora KDE but it has never worked for me for some reason…?

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago

Same.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure it's a KDE setting somewhere as there are settings for everything.

[–] dontbelievethis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thanks man 👍

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Sorry for not being more helpful, I do almost everything on the command line..

I think it's called muon, or these days discovery, maybe.. there you should be able to configure auto updates
