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.

Fedora is nicest when you use a lot of flatpaks imo. They just update constantly in the background without reboot.
Only system updates need reboot.
Even better: Silverblue! (I use uBlue)
Everything gets updated in the background without even needing intervention, not even a "you need to click here to download and reboot to apply changes"-notification.
I shut down my PC every few days when I leave the house for longer and boot into the next base-image without even noticing.
And if I do because something doesn't work, I just select the image from yesterday.
Oh yeah, and 99% of my apps are Flatpaks anyway, which auto-update too by default.
I just don't notice my OS in any way, I just work with it. Lovely!
I agree, I actually use Silverblue as well. The only thing I added was a script to auto update distrobox too.
