No. That's not how it works. It installs a new image alongside the current one and once you boot again it simply boots into the new image. Never ever wait for an update again.

Oh right, atomic distros work differently, didn't think about that! That is convenient!

[-] Rustmilian@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

Very convenient because if something happens where the update breaks something, you can just boot the previous image.

Does it give you a choice at startup, similar to the Grub menu, or do you have to do something to bring the option up?

That looks really handy, thanks :)

I've just downloaded Fedora Kinoite to try with my Ventoy drive (I refer the KDE layout :) )

For even less pain try a ublue variant (Aurora or Bazzite probably for KDE depending if you game). No faffing around with codecs and RPMFusion etc...

[-] MalReynolds@slrpnk.net 2 points 4 months ago

Literally is the grub menu...

[-] jmf@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

Nope thats exactly how it works, gives you an entry in grub for the prior image.
