There’s probably an option in your distro to automatically install updates, but it’s annoying when that happens when you’re in the middle of something or if they require restarts
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.
Brother, I am not a programmer and do not know what any of these words mean, and am not interested in becoming one. I just want to use a computer. This is precisely why I can’t use Linux.
Then how do you know that the magic spell I gave you doesn’t do it “automatically”? Either you’re lying and you actually a programmer, since we know you need to be a programmer to be able to read, or you somehow figured out how to read it without being one, but that would be crazy, absolutely crazy.
Anyway, if for some reason you need your system to decide when to update and reboot, there is an easily googlable setting for it, and if you just need to emulate window’s “update and shutdown” button, I gave you it for my preferred Linux distribution, and it’s not more complicated on all the other ones.
I just want my software to leave me the fuck alone and update automatically. Why is this so difficult?

As much as I hate to praise Windows, that’s why they have “update and shut down” when there are updates available.
This is a thing in all KDE distros I know. Once Discover downloaded them, they will be installed on next shutdown / reboot.
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.

There is. It doesn’t do anything.
Have not gotten this feature to work on Fedora, seems nice if it would work automatically
yay --noconfirm && poweroffI think you may have glossed over the “automatically” part.
Set up a cron job or systemd timer and have your computer suddenly powerdown.

If I recall Windows correctly, a scheduled task.
I don’t know what that is either.

Because I know enough to know that commands don’t run themselves.
Kubuntu at least also has this option!
Theres an option in Fedora KDE but it has never worked for me for some reason…?
Same.
