leap 15.4, with KDE.

When there is an update a notification pops up, you go to system tray, click on the icon and do the updates.

you mean the menu that will make your system unstable if you dont reboot immediately after updates?
if I can remember, it also does not do it automatically, by which I mean there is no setting to make it automatic.

to try to make it better I had to install a separate package, of which I have not found any information on suse documentation, to have the KDE built-in automatic update system.

and it does not work.
it restarts the system twice, after which zypper still says that all the updates need to be installed.

makes little difference with fingerprinting

why do you think so?

maybe neither. and the benefits depend on its kind. a public vpn can easily be contra-productive when the provider is dishonest, but even when its honest and secure, a VPN that you run for yourself at home has different effects

did you block loading fonts in an addon, like ublock?

this is not the first time they do something like this

I don’t understand, sorry. what I meant is the way you as the user do upgrades. you grab a terminal, elevate and run the system update command (zypper refresh, zypper update). major version upgrades are more complicated.

I can do this sure. But this is not noob friendly the slightest. and the YaST graphical tools don’t make it much better either.
I won’t say that the update system of windows is good because why the fuck does searching for updates minutes, and other reasons. but the UI of it is much better. it tells you what will it update, it has a button for starting the process, an automatism for it too. there’s also a menu for the update history.

how do they do regular updates? how do they do major version upgrades?

I think both of these is a big pain point.

I know nothing about seedboxes, but on a computer you can point multiple torrents to the same directory. If you make it read-only, by permission or mount options or whatever, the torrent client can’t even fuck it up
