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?

    Interesting, I assumed I’d have to live with it… Would changing that setting be a bad idea?

      Not a bad idea really, if you update tons of stuff without rebooting if you have it disabled sometimes weird stuff can happen, but its not very common and usually not very bad at all. I’d leave it on if you want that extra little bit of stability, but if its just a regular every day use computer I think either way is fine.

        Well that was easy. Thank you very much, I may stick to Fedora for a while longer!

        For anyone wondering, just edit /etc/xdg/discoverrc and change the flag to “false”.

        Edit: looks like it can also be changed with a checkbox in system settings > software updates.
