Hello everyone, After updating to F34, I was unpleasantly surprised by the new Plasma update notifier (plasma-discover-notifier). Even though the previous plasma-pk-updates thing had its quirks and Apper also wasn't the most featureful of package managers, I still ran into a handful of issues with Discover that make it pretty much useless for me: – There seems to be no way to select which updates to install. All I can see is a list of available updates with a button to install all of them, but no way to pick and choose a subset. (Yes, I could use commandline DNF with a whole bunch of "-x" arguments to get the job done, but the point of a GUI is to make things more user friendly, isn't it?) – I can't seem to find the description of individual package updates (the short changelog that plasma-pk-updates shows when you click a particular package, together with Bugzilla or Bodhi links). Again, getting these any other way than through the GUI updater is a real hassle. – The tray notifier doesn't let me actually do anything directly, I have to wait for it to open a full Discover window and spend a long while loading the updates, which is much more disruptive than the few seconds needed to trigger updating through plasma-pk-updates.
Even worse is that every single update requires a reboot. I just took a fully updated system and then downgraded vlc. Updated with Discover and even though it only had to update vlc-core-3.0.13-1.fc34.x86_64 and vlc-3.0.13-1.fc34.x86_64 it still required a reboot.
