WetGeek I have no doubt, in the growth plan going forward, that all automated updates of things that get fixed or patched daily will likely occur in Solus. All to come and I'm also sure all things like that are on the table.
Even Fedora is daily or 'as they come' as you say.
Right now we do extensive testing on each updated package and the final yea/nea goes thru 1-2 people. This is a proven system so far and more suited for a team all over the planet with jobs and lives outside Solus. RHEL (Fedora) and Debian are virtual nation states with fulltime crews.
I'm sure Solus updates will evolve to a more consistent model eventually, Baby steps.
Postponing the sync?
In this debate on the information of users concerning Solus updates (quite understandable), it should also be remembered that Solus is a volunteer project, not a company as Beatrice wrote in a post of 01/26/2022 . The seriousness and professionalism of development and management teams are no longer to be demonstrated. Perhaps, we should also meditate on a cardinal virtue in the Far East : patience...
Updated this morning. As soon as the update finished, I was kicked to the log-in screen. Logged back in and none of the programs I had open were running anymore. Restarted and everything appears to be fine, but as this is not common behavior and for me has not happened before, just wanted to report. I appreciate everyone's work on this distro. I'm using the Plasma edition.
WetGeek Forgive me if I misunderstood you but, for me, I installed Solus with the Budgie desktop and when updates are available, I receive a popup informing me of their arrival and so, I don't not need to go and check if they are here.
penny-farthing I don't not need to go and check if they are here.
I'm not suggesting that you should do anything differently than you now do.
WetGeek OK thank you, understood.

Synced this week by @EbonJaeger - current sync conductor =)
ikey With the valuable assistance of yourself. Thanks again!
I have just update my system Solus with 16 packages (315.59 MiB).
But I noticed that Solus had moved to version 4.4:
administrateur@solus-pc ~ $ lsb_release -a
LSB Version: 1.4
Distributor ID: Solus
Description: Solus
Release: 4.4
Codename: fortitude
And nothing reported since (for my part) : congratulations to the whole team !
penny-farthing same here. Budgie. 17 packages. reboot. cool. Observation: Budgie not getting many updated packages lately. KDE is getting a ton. Just the way the worm turns.
I would be happy just to get past the downloading eopkg index..lol
