@Fishd From what I read out of it, you mean the updates offered to you via GNOME Software or KDE Discover right?
Fedora uses a seperate "install mode" (systemd-target) to actually install the updates prior to the login page at reboot, which reminded me of Microsofts way of installing updates and it annoyed me too.
- Download the updates
- Reboot
- Install updates
- Reboot
You can use your computer again.
There is a way to do automatic background downloads (and installs) of updates using dnf-automatic.
Works well and I can recommend it.

@patnat Thank you! Why is this not the default for desktops, it's a much better user experience. 🤯
