Hello,
First of all, I don't want my computer behaving like a phone. I
already have a phone to do that. Second, I think it should be the
other way round, if you want to auto-update check the box. Otherwise,
system will just prompt a notification and user can decide whether
wants/can update or not.Keep in mind that updates in Fedora can be
really big sometimes, and not *everyone* has a fast reliable
connection to do this blindly. Please, consider the many users Fedora
has in places like South America and Middle East where internet is slow
and often only usable in specific places.
My thoughts.Silvia

In my opinion, we shouldn't even prompt the user to update apps if
updating the app doesn't require a reboot - we should just update.
Android updates apps automatically if you're on wifi and charging, I
think it works well. Users can disable auto-update for individual
apps if they need to.
Of course, if we do it automatically, we should be a little better
than Android: On Android, if your device updates an app you're
currently using, it'll close itself
after the update (it's very annoying when it happens when you're in
the middle of something). I don't think we should do that, of course.
I imagine some sort of a notification
"<some app> has been updated to version <something>, close &
re-open
it to switch to the new version" if the app is running when the auto-
update occurs.
How does iOS and mac OS handle this kind of thing?
System updates that require a reboot are something else entirely, and
should obviously not happen *every day*.
