Original question by @[email protected]

What Distros do you want to shoutout and why you think they are doing well/are the best at what they do?

I am curious what is out there and have only had some experience with Linux Mint, SteamOS, and Pop!_OS

My only problem with Fedora (Workstation) is that it really likes upgrade though restart. And upgrades are daily. It ~~can't~~ can be turned off (to not require restart) on KDE variant, but I didn't find an option on Gnome one.

Disable automatic updates in Gnome Software them do them manually via dnf.

That will also solve the mandatory restart after? I guess so. Any side effects?

Yep, without a restart anything running will be the old version until the process is restarted (or the whole system is).

You'll also probably want to do a flatpak update along with dnf upgrade

Uninstalling GNOME Software should do that if you just want to upgrade traditionally through dnf upgrade and you don't need GNOME Software.

Not positive but IIRC with Fedora you can change updates to weekly/monthly etc.
