For as long as I can remember I've run dnf update in a root xterm and when all the akmod activity and wot-not is finished, I've run reboot from another terminal.
Now, it won't reboot "because root is logged in".
Gah! Who cares if root is logged in?
Can I disable this helpful feature any way?
Dunno, but maybe you can disable what it measures. Do your xterms make entries in wtmp (listed by "w" and "who")? Is so, ISTR that xterm has an option to not do that (look for "wtmp" in the manual IIRC). See if disabling that helps.
