From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Do you have to watch a loading screen while system updates are applied like on regular Fedora or is it in the background?
On flathub.org there's a blue checkmark for apps maintained by the devs
The image is downloaded and staged in the background of the active session. Upon reboot, the session seamlessly defaults to the staged image. For flatpaks, the updates happen immediately and without the need for a reboot.
Aha, that must be one of the newer features implemented from the beta portal they'd been working on. I'm glad to hear it, and overall I hope to see more official upstream devs come on board with the platform (Signal, I'm looking at you).
That's great to hear. Maybe I'll give Silverblue a try
Sounds good. I don't think the automatic background updates are enabled by default, at least they weren't when I last installed it. To enable:
/etc/rpm-ostreed.confand setAutomaticUpdatePolicy=stagerpm-ostree reloadsystemctl enable rpm-ostreed-automatic.timer --nowAlso, consider disabling GNOME Software's management of flatpaks with the following:
The flatpaks will continue to be updated by the backend system, but you'll no longer have to deal with the sluggish frontend UI to keep things up to date.
I will keep that in mind, thank you
