minus-square@GravitySpoiled@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglish18•edit-215 days agoNo. 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.
minus-square@Tyoda@lemm.eelinkfedilink8•15 days agoOh right, atomic distros work differently, didn’t think about that! That is convenient!
minus-squareRustmilianlinkfedilinkEnglish9•15 days agoVery convenient because if something happens where the update breaks something, you can just boot the previous image.
minus-squareTipponlinkfedilinkEnglish2•15 days agoDoes it give you a choice at startup, similar to the Grub menu, or do you have to do something to bring the option up?
minus-squareTipponlinkfedilinkEnglish2•15 days agoThat looks really handy, thanks :) I’ve just downloaded Fedora Kinoite to try with my Ventoy drive (I refer the KDE layout :) )
minus-square@MalReynolds@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglish4•15 days agoFor even less pain try a ublue variant (Aurora or Bazzite probably for KDE depending if you game). No faffing around with codecs and RPMFusion etc…
minus-square@jmf@lemm.eelinkfedilink2•14 days agoNope thats exactly how it works, gives you an entry in grub for the prior image.

During boot up.

Literally is the grub menu…
