every time I update macOS, some of the system settings are changed to default including some in the firewall

Windows has also been doing that for some time now. Only Linux is relatively "clean" from that perspective, but even now some distros are beginning to sneak in spyware. The enshittification of OSes continues...

Citation needed. I remember Ubuntu sneaking in some stuff a couple of years ago[0], but most of the mainstream distros have a clean track record. What are you referring to exactly?

New installs make lots of unrequested accesses… fwupmgr, unbound-anchor, ocsp, firefox, all generate telemetry.

Companies have tried buying floss software specifically to add spyware, such as audacity.

It’s not a big fraction of what proprietary OS does, but the threat grows steadily each year.

In this case it sounds like a bug--the issue is resolved on reboot.

Please tell me that upgrading fedora versions works every time ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

What problems have you encountered on Fedora that were caused by a distro upgrade? Asking this because I've been using Fedora for years across different machines and can't recall any breakages that were direct consequences of an upgrade, though I usually apply it a month or two after the release date, so maybe there are early kinks that get resolved by that time.

I've been in-place upgrading my Fedora install for about 7 years. Or is it 10? IDR. As far as I remember the upgrade has always succeeded. Sometimes things are broken afterwards because software I liked got removed or something, but I never got locked out or the operating system unusable.
