Most excellent, fully automated system update suite & system tray monitor for Fedora Linux!
Party on with automated DNF & Flatpak upgrades, intelligent kernel module rebuilds, NVIDIA Secure Boot MOK handling, and seamless multi-language localization.
- 🟢 System Tray Monitor: Real-time visual status indicator with rich tooltip summaries and instant desktop session autostart without requiring logout.
- ⚡ Interactive CLI Suite (
fedora-update-cli): Granular step-by-step confirmation prompts for DNF and Flatpak, featuring full native terminal download speeds and progress bars. - 🍳 Intelligent NVIDIA & Kernel Initramfs Baking: Differentiated module compilation (
akmods) and initramfs regeneration (dracut)—automatically bakes only newly installed kernels during kernel bumps, or across all installed kernels when NVIDIA drivers are updated. - 🔒 Bulletproof Secure Boot & MOK Ready: Silent and non-intrusive on AMD/Intel systems and standard Fedora kernels; accurately verifies signing keys and automates MOK enrollment only when necessary.
- 🔄 Flatpak GL Synchronization: Detects and auto-syncs Flatpak NVIDIA GL runtimes when host drivers change.
- 🖥️ Universal Terminal Integration: Native support for FreeDesktop standard terminal execution (
xdg-terminal-exec), modern Wayland terminals (Ghostty, Ptyxis, Kitty, Alacritty, Foot, WezTerm), and desktop environment terminals. - 🌐 Deep Localization (i18n): Native multilingual support across 20+ languages including Norwegian (Bokmål & Nynorsk), Northern Sami, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and more.
A note on development: This software is engineered with the assistance of AI tooling. This does not mean the application has skipped thorough debugging, rigorous real-hardware testing, or future support.
Developed alongside its sister project,
debian-update, this tool receives active patches and maintenance to ensure rock-solid system stability, safety, and performance. AI assistance is leveraged solely to accelerate implementation within a busy schedule—the underlying system architecture, framework, user experience, and core logic are entirely my own design.
