  "textContent": "My understanding of atomic distros is that all system updates require a reboot to be applied. Given that it is common for people to rarely reboot their machines, is the real world security of these atomic distros for beginners significantly hampered by this? Or am I missing something?\n\nOn regular Fedora Workstation, you can set it to automatically update in the background and everything (except the kernel) will be updated without having to reboot. Sure, if you don’t restart the individual app, the update won’t get applied, but that seems better than requiring an entire system reboot. For things like browsers, where timely security updates are important and where people specifically recommend against installing them as Flatpaks, this seems particularly relevant.",
