An easier fix could be to just add a toggle so users can decide for themselves if they are fine with the app downloading unprompted or not. (This is just based on the post, the app could very well be behaving that way…
The article did not mention that as far as I can tell. >The app checks for the update every 5 minutes or when the user activates the app. >Normally, when the app detected the update - it downloaded it and stopped the 5…

I'm under the impression it's more like NVidia does not want Linux users, or at least has turned some WM developers against them[0]. [0] https://drewdevault.com/2017/10/26/Fuck-you-nvidia.html
My girlfriend was in Barranco at the time of the earthquake and had to leave the building because she and her family felt unsafe (in all the years I've known her it's the first time they actually thought it was serious…
