I'm a very new Linux user running Fedora with KDE, as of a few weeks ago.

I have some super basic questions about updates through Discover.

Background: There are new updates available nearly every day. The list of updates can get very long and is a text-based list, including many undecipherable things. Unless I were to search for each and every one.

For example, today's update list includes the following entries:

cups
Upgrade to new version 1:2.4.16-7.fc43
Release notes:
fix cupsd endless loop on busy servers (fedora#2446938)
cups-client
Upgrade to new version 1:2.4.16-7.fc43
Release notes:

cups-filesystem
Upgrade to new version 1:2.4.16-7.fc43
Release notes:

Yes, I could look up what these are, but that seems impractical given that each day there are dozens of updates and I really don't want to spend the time on this.

So onto my questions:

1. Should I just run all these updates as they come up? Do you all run these updates as they pop up?

2. Are you all getting this many updates on Fedora or is it something specific to me and the apps I'm running? I installed Fedora as-is and installed maybe 10 additional applications. So I shouldn't have anything super custom. Computer is a 5 year old ASUS laptop with AMD.

3. Is there a way to de-select some updates if I don't want to run all of them?

4. Should I ignore daily updates and install them less frequently, say monthly? Meaning, I'm not super interested in being the glitch finder. If there's a bug in an update, I'd rather have somebody else find it first and have the update patched.

General Fedora feedback: the discover update app feels lacking here. As a new user, I expect more of a description about what each application/service is as well as a clickable link to read more about the app and the update.

Made a nice lunch: sauteed some garlic and olive oil, added some butter beans and the squid, then topped with black pepper. Ate it with some olive bread.

Found this at Wegmans the other day. A kit for about $7 with 3 small cans: mussels, sardines, and squid.

Didn't eat the sardines yet, but then mussels and squid were good. Mussels in a spiced sauce, nice and tender. Squid was in garlic and olive oil. A few chewy pieces in there, but really tasty. Added some beans to the squid and ate everything with homemade olive bread.

Had these Patagonia mackerels over some wheat crackers. Very nice subtle lemon taste. There were actual lemon slices inside the tin; not expecting that. Caper taste is not super strong. A little expensive but don't mind paying for sustainable seafood.

CNN — Scott Hall, one of former President Donald Trump’s 18 co-defendants in Georgia, turned himself in to the Fulton County jail on Tuesday.

Hall, who works as a bail bondsman in Atlanta, was charged by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis with crimes related to his alleged involvement in the Coffee County, Georgia, voting systems breach.
