Description brucewwayne1234 2020-01-12 22:29:54 UTC 
You could put in a time system to look for new updates, similar to what exists in apper.

Here is my suggestion.

Ignore the comment error, I can't edit the description. I'm sorry.
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2020-01-14 23:17:17 UTC 
Right now we follow the distro's own update check schedule, But perhaps there is a way to override that if the user so chooses. Or just ignore it.

Any progress?

Now that we have an updates KCM in System Settings, it would be the perfect place to put this setting.

Comment 17 harsimran 2022-06-30 21:22:32 UTC 
As a workaround, to receive security updates automatically, I unmark/uncheck the non-security repositories in
Discover -> Settings 

[  ] Focal (main) - neon
[  ] Focal (main) Sources - neon
[  ] Focal (main restricted universe multiverse) - preinstalled-pool
[  ] Focal (main restricted universe multiverse) 
[x] Focal security (main restricted universe multiverse) 
[  ] Focal (main restricted universe multiverse) 
[  ] Focal updates (main restricted universe multiverse) 

But once a month, it will look like this:

[x] Focal (main) - neon
[x] Focal (main) Sources - neon
[x] Focal (main restricted universe multiverse) - preinstalled-pool
[x] Focal (main restricted universe multiverse) 
[x] Focal security (main restricted universe multiverse) 
[x] Focal (main restricted universe multiverse) 
[x] Focal updates (main restricted universe multiverse) 


Now my problem are the bunch of flatpaks installed that are being updated ASAP. I only want my Chromium and Firefox flatpaks to automatically update, not the not so security vulnera
