On the Fedora box  'dnf update' from the command line seems much fater 
than messing around with the Discover GUI. I usually have several Konsole 
tabs open. That's particularly handy when working with different Python 
venvs. 

Even with VS Code I usually kick it off from the command line. 

This isn't only Linux. I do the same thing with Windows Terminal. 
Sometimes one of the tabs is a Linux shell and there is often another 
Terminal instance running as Administrator.
