From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If you're using KDE, you can go to System Settings > Software Updates and
Opening Discover will check for updates and, if updates are found, show the tray notification regardless of your notification frequency and when you last updated.
Fedora does roll out updates pretty much daily, which can be annoying, but you can choose what and when to update.
