    I just use it to get updates with apt-get or Pacman or yay. I haven’t seen any other way to update non flatpack programs on the distros I use

      I actually use KDE’s discover to apply all the updates (flathub and yum). Mainly because I’m lazy and the update icon appears and it’s quick to just click through.

        I just checked and it doesn’t seem to pick up all the updates that pacman or yay does. Looks like, among other things it’s missing updates for samba, konsole, and plasma-addons

          That is probably very distro dependent, I’m currently using bazzite on my daily driver and there the “updater” goes over absolutely everything: system images, custom dnf packages, containers, apt-get inside distrobox, flatpak… I guess also Android apps in way droid, but that I haven’t gotten into yet.

        I’m a recent convert, so I picked KDE since it looked familiar. Might try gnome in the future tho, since I hear a lot of good things about it.

          For arch at least there’s a widget you can add that does the same thing, it can show the number of available updates and works with pacman, yay, and a few other AUR package managers too.

          KDE has a GUI app called Discover that will do Flatpaks as well as other package management systems. It shows me RPM packages that I normally update with zypper
