OK I'm going to display some total KDE ignorance here, hopefully a KDE user can answer this.
Note that there's a Fedora-KDE list at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde
On GNOME, gnome-software + packagekit + systemd work together to make the user aware of software updates. This includes any installed applications, as well as OS + kernel updates. The user clicks on Restart & Install in gnome-software, or chooses that option in the reboot/poweroff panel. The system reboots, a special systemd offline updates target is triggered, and packagekit installs all the previously downloaded rpms with a progress indicator, then reboots (again).
You mean Gnome makes you reboot for every update? I must be misunderstanding what you're saying.
OS updates yes. If it's strictly an application update or install, no.
That's fine. It's just that from your description I had the impression that the only way to apply updates was from this Restart & Install action.
If you're using the graphical package manager, yes, this is the only way.
