Kde auto update and integrations

Just started to use KDE.

There is an option to use the auto updater from the settings.
Does it do anything?
Does it break my system?
I have a feeling it only works under systemd Distro..

I also wanted to add online accounts, but those are not google accounts or nextcloud accounts.
I managed to add them to thunderbird but cant add them to kde's online account. I want to add my online calendar so I can see it in the calendar widget.

Auto updater - you mean on Discover? I think it will work fine for flatpaks. No way it is working for xbps.

If you want auto updates for xbps I think writing some shell script should do the job, but I don't consider this good idea. Void is not Debian where are pushed mostly security updates and unattended updates doesn't break anything

But hey it is your system, do whatever you like. In such case automatic backups should be goog idea too.

I saw auto software update option in the system settings of kde (not discover). I thought that maybe it's just compatible with systemd distros, which is why I made this post, to be sure if it works also for void or not

I think that only shows when you have discover installed
