[Fedora 39] Why does Discover say there's updates while `dnf` say there's none? Also, why does Discover need to reboot to install said updates?(lemmy.ca)

Discover checks knewstuff (global themes, plasmoids, etc.), Flatpaks, firmware and snaps, (which all have a relevant backend package something like (discover-backend-packagekit). Discover, well more like PackageKit, will let you know if a reboot is necessary if there’s something like a kernel update.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
