>Ubuntu (and probably other Debian-based Linux systems - and maybe all of them - so many distros I haven't tried or haven't played with in a long while - sigh) does it right - if you say to try again later, it will pop up the same dialog later.

Debian yes. But Ubuntu has adopted a Windows 10-style approach with its new snap packaging format. See https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/disabling-automatic-refresh-for...

Thanks for posting that link. I learned two valuable things from reading that discussion thread:

(1) I saw examples of how to phrase comments in order to keep a conversation polite and constructive, even as tempers start to rise.

(2) I learned a lot about how Ubuntu "snap" installations work, and why "apt" better fits with my ideals.
