Fellow Fedora Immutable users, have any of you automated your system updates to occur at shutdown? If so, do you find it makes a practical difference?

I’m thinking of doing the same with Tony Walker’s silverblue-update service.

I shutdown most of my machines daily, and that often means getting an updated image shortly after startup the next day and being forced to reboot or nearly always remain one day behind in updates. By checking for updates again at shutdown, this should help ensure I’ve always got the latest daily image at boot. Thoughts?

    As for the --apply-live, I use it on occasion but I don’t want to rely on it for system updates (if that’s even possible).

    As I said before, it does work for system updates, the only exception being the kernel. The --apply-live flag was added for that exact reason, to avoid the need for an unnecessary reboot.
