Is there some special reason, why Fedora updates 10 times a week, it's
kind of a pain to manual reboot 10 AppVMs just for some tiny update,
yes, I could just not update the AppVMs , or wait and not update Fed24
when it suggest I do but.....

You do know that you don't *have* to reboot them every time you update the template, right? :)

Sure thats what I said, but who knows maybe one of these crazy packages
is related to security or something, that or I don't like seeing the
little green circles :)

thanks for replying

Fedora has been that way for years, and its not surprising since they're
more of a testbed distro for Red Hat and not user-focused.

Debian's updates for 'stable' are a lot more reasonable, and you can
choose to update only from the security repository making the update
frequency even sparser.
