What actually changes when your machine updates, how a release reaches everyone, and how you pick the moment it happens.
An update should ask almost nothing of you. That is the whole design goal.
When a release is ready, it does not land on every machine at once. It reaches a small group first. If anything needs a second look, we hold the rest where they are until it is right. Your machine downloads the new version quietly in the background and then waits. Nothing restarts until you say the word.
Step by step instructions live in CalyOS support.
We move a release out in stages, not all in one morning. Here is the path it takes before it ever asks you to restart.
A new release goes to a handful of machines first. We watch how it behaves on real desks doing real work, not just on a test bench.
If everything stays calm, more machines get it. If something needs fixing, we hold the rest where they are until it is sorted. You are never the test.
When your turn comes, the update downloads quietly in the background. Then it sits there, ready, and does nothing at all until you choose the moment.
“We would rather hold a release back a day than hand you one that surprises you.”
Check for an update whenever you like, install it there and then, or set a quiet window overnight so it happens while the office is empty. The choice is yours every time.
Read the stepsIf a release ever causes trouble, you roll back to the version you had before. Your files and settings come with you. The previous version is not thrown away the moment the new one arrives.
No countdown bar, no surprise reboot in the middle of a quote. The work stays in front, the update stays behind it.
An update waiting patiently while the day goes on.
No. The update waits until you choose to restart. Install it on the spot, schedule it for a quiet window overnight, or leave it ready until you are done for the day.
Yes. There is no hard deadline forcing an update onto your machine. Check for one whenever you like and install it when the timing suits you.
You roll back to the version you had before, with your files and settings intact. The previous version stays on the machine until you are sure the new one is behaving.
In CalyOS support. It walks through checking for updates, setting a quiet window and rolling back, with a picture for each step.
