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.

Silverblue: Run ostree updates at shutdown? (lemmy.ca)

Fellow Fedora Immutable users, have any of you automated your system updates to occur at shutdown? If so, do you find it makes a practical difference?

I'm thinking of doing the same with Tony Walker's silverblue-update service.

I shutdown most of my machines daily, and that often means getting an updated image shortly after startup the next day and being forced to reboot or nearly always remain one day behind in updates. By checking for updates again at shutdown, this should help ensure I've always got the latest daily image at boot. Thoughts?

You could change the action of the power button I guess, some dconf stuff?

#!/bin/bash
sudo waydroid upgrade
distrobox upgrade --all
flatpak update -y
flatpak cleanup --unused -y
rpm-ostree update
shutdown -h now

On KDE this will work too. I simply alias that command to "update" and "upfin" (including the shutdown) but yeah that needs an improvement.
