Why GUI software update tool is broken for me

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all

I dont really want this to be a negative post, just want to share something in order to start a healthy discussion

Background
Im a Fedora desktop user, have been for many years, going all the way back to Fedora Core 1 - I use Fedora on a daily basis, its my main (in fact only OS)

Issue
Im very comfortable with the CLI, but spend the majority of the time in the GUI - I noticed a behaviour change in myself recently - I now NEVER use the GUI Software Update tool. I noticed the other day but its been like this for quite some time. 

My workflow is - the GUI tool tells me there are updates, I dismiss it and open a terminal and do sudo dnf update -y    

Why is this?  Well some time ago the behaviour of the tool changed and now the only way to proceed is to click in "Restart and Install" and this is NEVER what I want to do. I never want to reboot my desktop just to apply updates, Id rather apply all the updates and reboot to bring in the new kernel (if there is one) when I have the time

I cant help but feel this is, to me anyway,. a broken design, are there others that feel the same or am I alone on this

Id be interested in the original rationale behind this change, as I say, I dont wont to start a bitching session, just interested in why this change happened

Adrian
