When you log into a GUI session, the GUI can fire off things as you log in. In MATE, there's a "mate-session-properties" tool to control these things. Gnome has something similar (slight name change to the command). KDE, likewise. Similar for other desktops. In my mate-session-properties I see a "dnfdragora-updater" entry was pre-installed. I un-ticked that to stop it looking for updates. Like you, I do updates when I want them to happen. And I'm subscribed to the "updates" mailing lists, which gives me far more information about updated packages than the GUI tool does. I also get to hear about packages that I haven't installed (that can be a blessing and a curse). The update info is in my mail, where I can read it when I want to, rather than some GUI tool interrupting me with alerts. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.16.11-100.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 22 20:02:12 UTC 2018 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted. There is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.
