And in the meantime, even without an alert, the updates are _available_
if you look in Software, right?
Yep, exactly. gnome-software downloads updates daily and prepares them
in the background and makes them available if you open up gnome-software
and go to the updates page. They are also available in the gnome-shell
shutdown dialog as soon as they are downloaded.
The user notifications however are done weekly if there are no security
updates.
