I think it is very likely that KDE has an equivalent to GNOME, which
does the equivalent of "apt update" every day and then notifies you
about available package upgrades.

Yes, and it seems to be plasma-discover. But I do noit find how to configure it NOT to update package list automatically.

A systemctl --user list-units '*discover*'  gives
 UNIT                                                        LOAD   ACTIVE SUB     DESCRIPTION  app-org.kde.discover-5f3c6a37712a431b929cbe82aa9555dc.scope loaded active running Discover - Logithèque  app-org.kde.discover.notifier@autostart.service             loaded active running Discover

a list-unit-files says the service is generated. I did nit find from what it os generated.

There is /etc/xdg/autostart/org.kde.discover.notifier.desktop


which ends in


Exec=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/DiscoverNotifier
Icon=system-software-update
Type=Application
NoDisplay=true
X-KDE-autostart-phase=1
OnlyShowIn=KDE

DiscoverNotifier comes form the plasma-discover package

The pacakge contains a /usr/bin/plasma-discover-update binary, whose name appears in DiscoverNotifier binary...


I'll try looking this way.


I would have preferred being able to disable it (especially because it shows me a systray indication when there are upgradable packages) but if it is not possible I can remove it (it won't remove the meta-packages of the DE)
