minus-squareGravitySpoiled@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·edit-214 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-squareTyoda@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up8·14 days agoOh right, atomic distros work differently, didn’t think about that! That is convenient!
minus-squareRustmilian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·14 days agoVery convenient because if something happens where the update breaks something, you can just boot the previous image.
minus-squareTippon@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·14 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-squareTippon@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·14 days agoThat looks really handy, thanks :) I’ve just downloaded Fedora Kinoite to try with my Ventoy drive (I refer the KDE layout :) )
minus-squareMalReynoldslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·14 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-squarejmf@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·14 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…
