Your mileage may vary, but I think it is good practice each day, first thing, to open a terminal and run "sudo apt uipdate." Little applets are nice though also often annoying (far more so in Plasma), while running from a terminal encourages one to be more circumspect and actually learn more about proposed upgrades. I have a few applicatoions that I certainly wish I hadn't upgraded.
Which I realize doesn't answer your question. But the absence of the little applet might push you toward investigating something that is ultimately good computer hygiene. -- dep

Hi,
My mileage is 40+ years in programming with many programming languages under many OS's (CPM, DOS, VAX/VMS, Windows - from 3.1 to 10-, various Unix flavors, various Linux, platform-specific OS's) so I am not afraid of a terminal and command-line since there has been nothing else to interact with a computer for a long time :-)
I found the update notifier applet a nice utility: green->nothing new, red->there are updates available.
So when it was red, I go to the command-line to check what was available for update.
I miss this thingy... and my question is still not answered.
Cheers,
Pascal
