    Yes, and I have never liked its functionality but put up with it
    because I couldn't figure out how to disable it, although until now
    I didn't know that what I don't like about it is being brought about
    by the nature of the update repositories potentially. What I didn't
    like with it was it pops up a message about updates being available
    and when I look at what it is saying, it is notifying about updates
    for the packages I have already just put on via DNF.
    
    regards,
