I need some program for unexperienced users who use Debian, so that they are asked to update the system from time to time using the GUI. I know that there is update-manager for Ubuntu, but they use Debian. Is there any alternative or an easy way to install update-manager on Debian?

package-update-indicator might be enough for you.

sudo apt install package-update-indicator pk-update-icon

Synaptic would be an more in-depth alternative with more gimmicks. Countless other managers are mentioned here.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
