There’s probably an option in your distro to automatically install updates, but it’s annoying when that happens when you’re in the middle of something or if they require restarts
Brother, I am not a programmer and do not know what any of these words mean, and am not interested in becoming one. I just want to use a computer. This is precisely why I can’t use Linux.
You think you can’t use Linux because you can’t set up something to automatically install updates? Nah, don’t worry about that. You really still can. You don’t need to know what a cronjob is lol. (Just some commands that run on a schedule.)
Then how do you know that the magic spell I gave you doesn’t do it “automatically”? Either you’re lying and you actually a programmer, since we know you need to be a programmer to be able to read, or you somehow figured out how to read it without being one, but that would be crazy, absolutely crazy.
Anyway, if for some reason you need your system to decide when to update and reboot, there is an easily googlable setting for it, and if you just need to emulate window’s “update and shutdown” button, I gave you it for my preferred Linux distribution, and it’s not more complicated on all the other ones.
I just want my software to leave me the fuck alone and update automatically. Why is this so difficult?

As much as I hate to praise Windows, that’s why they have “update and shut down” when there are updates available.
yay --noconfirm && poweroffI think you may have glossed over the “automatically” part.
Set up a cron job or systemd timer and have your computer suddenly powerdown.

No, because doing anything in Linux is DIY in the terminal. I don’t have time for that. I have a job already.

Because I know enough to know that commands don’t run themselves.
If I recall Windows correctly, a scheduled task.
I don’t know what that is either.
Never actually shuts down for me. Always have to shutdown manually after the update.
Kubuntu at least also has this option!
Theres an option in Fedora KDE but it has never worked for me for some reason…?
I’m pretty sure it’s a KDE setting somewhere as there are settings for everything.
Thanks man 👍
