On Gnome? You can certainly do this. I highly recommend using tmux or screen, because that will shield you from some of the potential problems in case an update of the running GUI breaks that GUI. Additionally, do be aware of issues like https://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=308371, which is caused by upgrading firefox when firefox is running. (The flash problem is just a very visible symptom.) Note also that in the event of security problems, you may still have stuff running with the old versions in memory. Run `sudo dnf needs-restarting` to see what needs to restart; often a reboot is just _easier_. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
