How to disable notification of available updates

[jglen490]

I believe Arch is a rolling release. But you can always look at Distrowatch.com and do a search on rolling releases, if you feel so inclined. But I also believe that a rolling release would give more update notifications, if not more releases. Just a thought.

I think I'll stick with Neon-unstable for as long as I can .
At least here I have update annoyance at zero. I mean, no unattended upgrades, no xapian-hogs, no notifications either... bliss :·)
Oh, and I really like it too...

Neon will continue, but the underlying Kubuntu will change. So you go with the underlying change and keep your Neon going with just a difference in the base.

I find bliss in a stable AND secure Linux - LTS type Kubuntu is exceptionally blissful.

The underlying Kubuntu does expire. Neon just keeps pushing Plasma updates that the LTS doesn't get.

But I may be wrong, since I don't use Neon, but do use Kubuntu ...

it's a bit more like Neon is an Ubuntu LTS base (was 16.04 and is now 18.04) with a rolling KDE if on testing or unstable .

the one I'm on now was the 16.04 base and was upgraded in place .

I use to remove PackageKit ─ and it removes Plasma Discover, too ─ because I have never found how to disable these notifications.

I prefer to manually run "apt update" ─ and use Synaptic.

Also, you can disable "Unattended-upgrades" by running:

[#]# dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades[/#]

and use TAB to "NO", then ENTER.

Yes, I removed Discover and it solved the problem.
