I don’t think the first two are distro specific, more a question of mindset. Unless there are distros that force update your system like some other OSs, which could cause the second picture to happen more often.
Neat! I was just thinking, if it starts updating the kernel as you turn it off, you’d have to wait a minute for it to finish. M$ style. Has that never happened?
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.
Fedora atomic, e.g. silverblue, not traditional fedora.
It still wants to reboot after each update but I don’t see it and when I reboot, it boots into the update.

On fedora atomic all updates are automatic. I don’t even see that they happen. They just happen in the background. I love it.

Oh right, atomic distros work differently, didn’t think about that! That is convenient!
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?
During boot up.
That looks really handy, thanks :)
I’ve just downloaded Fedora Kinoite to try with my Ventoy drive (I refer the KDE layout :) )
Literally is the grub menu…
Nope thats exactly how it works, gives you an entry in grub for the prior image.
How are you getting it to do that? Fedora wants to reboot every day for me, even for the simplest update.

If Fedora plays nice this time around, I’m seriously considering Kinninte and Atomic Budgie for 41. (But Fedora always ends badly for me)
They’re also very stable do to the image-based VCS.
