There are five ways to have update software on Ubuntu Linux these days:
* Ubuntu Store (snap).
* Via Flathub (flatpak).
* Official deb repository pool (apt-get).
* Community maintained PPAs (apt-get).
* Other, tools like appimage, nix, linuxbrew etc. etc.
If you are not fan of terminal tools, sometimes "Software Updates" popup will appear to ask you if you would like to install new updates.
By default there isn't any self-update enabled (please correct me if I am wrong), though it is recommended to configure automatic updates of unattended-upgrades [1]. In my experience 17.10 were asking about installing updates when you were shutting down or restarting OS.
