Even back in the Windows 3.1 or 95 days I didn’t have to reboot this often - sometimes twice a day. Seems a bit excessive?

      I’m not doing anything wrong, it’s just made that way. Browser update? Reboot. Update to an app that I haven’t even opened in weeks? Reboot.

        It isn’t, though. Made that way, I mean. I update maybe weekly and restart my system when I do. That’s it. I seldom get notification that I need to update unless I open the Gnome Software app, and unless it’s a security update, it’s not imperative to do it just because it’s there. And even then, it doesn’t always require a restart.

        I’ve been using Fedora off and on (mostly on) for the better part of a decade, and I’ve never run into what you’re describing. So no. It isn’t “made that way.” I imagine if it were, it would be a hell of a lot less popular.
