Hi,

I update my Fedora Plasma desktop on a weekly basis. I have dnf tracer
plugin installed.

On my weekly update I notice that I am almost always required to either
restart the session or reboot the system. Both of these options are
unacceptable because they require closing 10-15 apps and restarting
them. That's unnecessary hassle and loss in productivity.

Fedora's all or none update system also doesn't make it easy. If I don't
update system then I leave it vulnerable.

I am setting up a work machine and I have to decide if Fedora is
appropriate for me or not.

Is the tracer plugin faulty or Fedora updates do require restarting
session or system very frequently?

You don't HAVE to reboot, but some of the updated applications require unloading an loading again. Wouldn't the easy solution be to reboot once you're done with work for the week? I personally don't know why people leave their computers on forever if it's not a server but that's just me. I turn my computer off when I'm done with it.

If you want a slower moving distribution you may want to look at something else or just not update as often.
