I thought the whole premise of moving away from having to reboot for each and every
update, patch, and fix was one of the major reasons some people LEFT Windows to BEGIN

I assume GNOME is your desktop, yes?
Why not just update from the command line? "dnf update". Then you can decide

And use 'Tracer' to see what was impacted and what you should restart
(sometimes just an app, or logout/in, or reboot).
