Not being a KDE user I don't know for sure, but even if it alerts that
updates are available, a normal user can't install them unless they're
members of the "wheel" group or they have the root password, not so?
That's the way it works on XFCE IIRC.

I'm the only user on my desktop machines, so I typically have a root
shell open and do a "yum update" or "dnf update" from there.
