Any app that chooses to update or ask you a bunch of questions when you just want to use it CAN GET FUCKED. Open a loyalty app: would you like to rate our app? No. Would you like to see nearby deals? NO. Notifications for nearby deals would be useful.. NOOO! Earn double points tomorrow... MOther F*)(&^*&(%!!1

    Exactly, the app should install updates in the background and apply them after the app is closed.

    I'd even settle for an unobtrusive modal asking what to do like a "yes | no | never | settings" kind of deal

    I like the way AppImages work on my Kubuntu system:

    They automatically update themselves in the background and then trigger a system notification letting you know the app will be updated the next time you close it, with a button to initiate it now.
