Are there any alternative for Discover to receive update notifications on the notification area??
Discover is too slow and cluttered for this role.
Is there a way to install the old zypper notification applet?
On witch package is it?
@marcelovborro Hi, AFAIK it never went away, packagekit is the backend used for the likes of Discover, gnome-software etc.
Then could please explain me how can I put it in the notification area to notify me of system updates?
Can’t find it anywhere :-/
Click on the down-arrow for the Status | Notification icon in the System Tray (arrow in screenshot at an angle) … then click Configure System Tray.
Click Entries in the left panel, then look for the Updates entry and select (its dropdown) how you want it displayed.
For me, you can see in the screenshot, its entry is displayed in the Tray (second arrow pointing up at it).
Sorry if my question wasn’t clear enough 
But I do not want to use discover for system updates notifications.
I would like to use the old opensuse zypper update notification applet.
And it is not shown on the options.
That is no more.
I live without PackageKit and thus do not have such a notifier available to bother any of my users.
I just do an update once a week (during a prearranged maintenance window).

Well, then the best solution is to completely uninstall discover.
I always suggest my users to use Opensuse on their personal computers, but that will be a problem for then.
I will look for a solution with another distro
You will not get a different experience with other distros. But yeah, you can uninstall Discover and the notifier.
