    Neat! I was just thinking, if it starts updating the kernel as you turn it off, you’d have to wait a minute for it to finish. M$ style. Has that never happened?

      No. 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.

        Oh right, atomic distros work differently, didn’t think about that! That is convenient!

          Very convenient because if something happens where the update breaks something, you can just boot the previous image.

            Does it give you a choice at startup, similar to the Grub menu, or do you have to do something to bring the option up?
