It kind of sounds like you may be waiting too long to reboot. If you download
updates in the morning, apply the offline update in the next morning, and then
have updates shortly after your computer turns on, you probably are avoiding
the issue by rebooting into a new set of updates that need to be applied.

This will only "fail" if you have a completely patched system when KDE does its
initial update check after boot.

> Non-technical folks generally never manually install updates.

I know several non-technical people that understand they need to install
updates and do so when notified (especially about security updates). In fact
they prefer Linux in no small part because they can choose when to install
those updates; they still need to be aware that there are updates though.

I would also expect that auto-updates may not work ... if the notification
system isn't triggering for the user, I don't know how the user would know to
reboot to install their automatic updates (assuming they even get installed in
the first place).
