I don't. But dnf-automatic (fedora) does it automatically about once a day based on a systemd timer. dnf needs-restarting indicates if a reboot is required (or just configure dnf-automatic to do it).

Depends on the distro. Fedora is a general purpose distro and usually pushes out new kernel releases (6.19 for example) after about 4 weeks. This means the initial bugs have been fixed and it's stable for general purpose use. If you want the latest release it's easy:
sudo dnf upgrade kernel --enablerepo=updates-testing
The Fedora Koji build system has the latest version in testing.
You can also build your own.
Don't make the mistake of thinking 7.0 will be any more special than 6.19 or 6.20 etc. They're just release numbers and when Torvalds thinks the point number is big enough the first number is incremented.
Wrong approach. Make new free trade deals with other countries.
Iran is China's 38th most valuable trade partner. The US is number 1. Who are sanctions on China by the US going to hurt most?
Intelligence, for example.
The missile is confirmed by various experts as a Tomahawk Cruise missile. Iran doesn't have any Tomahawks, so Trump's claim that the Iranians did it is ridiculous. I guess that leaves the USA and Israel.
