I do something similar, except I use the crufty old update-manager set as a
startup application (because I like to read the changelogs) plus
gnome-software, enhanced with snap and flatpak plugins (because I have
snaps AND flatpaks nowadays).

I don't like the software stores much. They're sluggish, and for .deb
updates they trigger unnecessary reboots, plus the changelogs rarely
display properly. So I may resume using a terminal for those tasks. I keep
hoping they'll improve, since that seems to be what the developers expect
us to use.

And because you gave an example... now I will have a look at nala (apt
replacement)!
