First box is irrelevant (old bug) hence the comment about the bottom one on the same post. The only notification that shows is the bottom one.

As I said the problem about update notifications and the need to restart is something that I have [already talked on a long thread about](https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/inform-user-that-system-updates-will-be-applied-on-restart-or-shutdown/10382). J0rge said that I should try the [KDE forums](https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/inform-user-that-system-updates-will-be-applied-on-restart-or-shutdown/10382/22) regarding this feature as they have much better way to provide a tool on this matter. [I actually did that](https://discuss.kde.org/t/feature-request-notify-users-when-a-system-update-requires-a-restart/39003/27?u=xarishark) and I got a really good engagement from actual KDE devs!

Also the reason of my “heat” as you said is the stark contrast in the way a moderator is communicating with a user! Here is an example of the answer I got from one [mod](https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/system-update-needs-some-polish/9190/4) to [another](https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/system-update-needs-some-polish/9190/8). I dont just come here requesting stuff willy nilly. Anyway I agree with you that this was not my best moment. It wont happen again. If I had the minimum of knowledge to develop that I really would. For now we have the popup for the month tho.
