yeah i dunno why they changed this- maybe cuz folks weren’t allowing critical updates and woudl run into too many problems as a result? But still- we should have the choice- the dang thing is daily updating practically- I’ll update at night, get hte green check mark that the system is up to date- go to bed, wake up and it ‘needs’ updating again-
Probably because no one was using that feature so they just removed it. But Linux updates don’t any cause problems. They are open source inspected and tested real good before sent out.
Seriously, just go toggle it off. It will keep running great without the updates, most are unneeded. Then once a month go turn it back on and update it if you like.
Or... Set it to auto and it will just keep everything updated all the time. Or if these are apps they are promoting and you will never get or use you can blacklist them in the update manager and they will not pop up anymore.
