This is a thing in all KDE distros I know. Once Discover downloaded them, they will be installed on next shutdown / reboot.
Have not gotten this feature to work on Fedora, seems nice if it would work automatically
Never seen it. And KDE nags me incessantly about updates.
You can change the update notification frequency somewhere in settings. Pretty sure you can disable it too.
The problem is not that it nags me, the problem is that it expects me to manually approve updates.
I believe there's a setting either in Discover (the KDE "app store") in the main plasma settings (somewhere in the "updates" section? That might be somewhere else, I don't remember) that will automatically install updates without you needing to approve them.
And there's also a setting that will wait to install them until the next boot. When I had that setting on, it only added maybe 10 seconds to my startup time when I needed to apply something like a kernel update.
There is. It doesn't do anything.
