No notification on Kubuntu

[Dark Dragon]

There was no notification about a new release upgrade (not even after manually refreshing within Discover).

My dad was telling me he got some error message but it was displayed only too short to read. When I checked it in the command line, I could see that the repositories for "impish" could not be reached any more. After further investigation, I found out that the support ended. There was no notification or anything telling him to upgrade the distribution. I had to manually search in order to find the website https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JammyUpgrades/Kubuntu#Upgrade. and start the upgrade via `pkexec do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE` from the command line.

You already have the infrastructure to perform distribution upgrades, the only thing missing is a regular check for new releases in combination with a notification to the user.

This was discussed recently on the ubuntu-devel mailing list[1], and I believe there is a plan going forward, starting with upgrades from 22.04.
