that's exactly how updates should work in every desktop distro. as an option of course.
systemd made it possible to install updates on shutdown.
packagekit enabled kde software to automatically obtain and prepare the updates.
plasma does the final touch nowadays to ask you on the reboot/shutdown dialog whether you want to install them.
Basically all the system is in place, with code from widely used parties. packagekit can even integrate with your filesystem to make a snapshot before install. It's wonderful. yet, it seems as if only fedora supports this full setup right now? or is there anything else?
hmm it's still good to be reminded that it's not actually until 2032, but just 2027. 2 years is more than none, but yeah, not as much as I originally thought
proven? how is a system proven for usage by common people that can't even do automatic updates safely? It's just recently getting to that point, with offline updates!
yeah you and me can use it fine. we can run apt upgrade, dist-upgrade, and fix when it does not boot anymore, but most of us are aware that our parents but also non-tech friends can't.
on the receiving end. Syncthing cant act to keep a version before you delete a file locally, but it can move a remotely deleted file to the version control instead of deleting it
because they would always ask which container I wanted a tab in.
I don't remember having to deal with this but it does not do that now. you can set a container to always be used for a website, and then it'll ask you what to do if you try to open it outside of that container, but that's it.
Syncthing is fine and secure, but be absolutely sure you set up some kind of file versioning for the shared folder. at least a trashcan versioning, if not better. protects you against accidental deletion
that 330 million was nothing compared to all the highly personal data they get access to. that's the real payment. the money is pocket change for entities like thiel
that does not sound to be a good idea
