Applications run as flatpaks which can be and in fact are by default updated automatically in the background. And that’s where Fedora Silverblue comes to rescue. I could set up automated DNF updates running in the background, but it’s really not the safest option.
But Fedora upgrades became so easy and reliable that recently I usually just found out that they had already done it by themselves.īut there was still one recurring problem: even though they performed upgrades because it was probably a big enough thing to catch their attention they didn’t act on normal updates and I often found them with outdated applications such as Firefox.
FEDORA SILVERBLUE VS WORKSTATION UPGRADE
Just once 6 months and a year typically when I visit them I upgrade the machine to the new release and check whether everything works. Usually after I set up the machine I don’t hear from the user very often. Long story short: I (mostly remotely) support quite a few Fedora (Linux of my choice) users in my family now. So I asked them to decide: you either use Linux which I know and can effectively help you with or ask someone else for help. I don’t know those systems well enough to effectively administer them and I don’t even have much interest in them. In the past I also helped them with computers with Windows and macOS, but at some point I just gave up. I’m the go-to IT guy in the family, so my relatives rely on me when it comes to computers and software on them.
