SUMMARY
This is not a bug, but rather a feature I really wish the Discover app had. I’m used to using package managers like DNF or APT to update and upgrade my system, which show me a list of all the packages that are going to be updated. Unfortunately, that's not the case with Discover.

If I want to update my system interactively without using the command line, it's a problem—especially because sometimes I want to review the list of packages that will be upgraded.

For example, I may want to check if a kernel update is available, and before installing it, I need to ensure that the new kernel works with my NVIDIA drivers.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Discover app
2. Check if you have updates
3. You will see system upgrade and upgrade size but not the packages that going to update

OBSERVED RESULT
It works fine there is no issue with update

EXPECTED RESULT
It should just show which packages are going to update in system, just like it shows which apps are going to update.

It's not obvious, but if you click on the "System upgrade", it will expand and there is a More Information button you can click to get the full list of packages that will be updated.

This will be more obvious if bug 507751 is implemented
