I have no idea when it happened, but there’s a mechanism in place to download updates but only install them on reboot, kinda similar to windows, but when you want instead of when it want. It’s kinda the best of both world : updates are quick to install, downloaded in the background, and no workflow interruption.
Ah. I have only figured out the check for updates daily, weekly or never options. I am leaning into never as this is the third time an Ubuntu update has made me want to curl up in a ball and die.
never updating anymore is a bad idea. on linux even your web browser is only updated along with the system (unless you use the flatpak package), and all browsers regularly patch previously unknown security vulnerabilities
Probably, but it is not a gaming device but a network managing one and its been running for way before bazzite and just the thought of having to configure it all again makes my skin crawl.

I dont find thus constant tech support fun.

But if the internet is dead, you can’t curl!
(Well, depending on what broke, I guess localhost may work)
You might prefer a more curated experience like Bazzite.
