Created attachment 115262 [details] Empty updates widget and release upgrade icon SUMMARY Updates widget shows that "system is up to date" while there is a distro release upgrade available (which is indicated by completely different icon). Such inconsistent behaviour can be confusing for users EXPECTED RESULT All updates including distribution release ones are shown in Updates widget SOFTWARE VERSIONS KDE Plasma Version: 5.13.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.50 Qt Version: 5.11.1 (Latest KDE Neon User Edition 16.04)
I agree, this would make sense and be nice. We should try to centralize all of this in Discover's update plasmoid as much as possible.
Doesn't Discover have multiple "updater backends" that are queried for updates? Aren't they even plugins? So can't in theory neon updater install a Discover plugin for that to integrate here? Just something I noticed while fixing things in there. It only knows "security" and "normal" updates, no "distro upgrades", but something to keep in mind maybe. :)
This is already the case, distributions aren't make use of it. The PackageKitNotifier backend for the plasmoid does check for new releases. It's not implemented on apt backend, we looked into it for neon with Harald and they decided to go in a different direction. We could have some ad-hoc code for Neon or any other distro there, that's true.

That's a shame. Can we re-visit that in some venue? It's sort of odd to not have all upgrade notifications in the same plasmoid.
