You mean Gnome makes you reboot for every update? I must be misunderstanding what you're saying.
Why? Would you mind explaining your thoughts?
To quote the OP:
On GNOME, gnome-software + packagekit + systemd work together to make the user aware of software updates. This includes any installed applications, as well as OS + kernel updates. The user clicks on Restart & Install in gnome-software, or chooses that option in the reboot/poweroff panel. The system reboots, a special systemd offline updates target is triggered, and packagekit installs all the previously downloaded rpms with a progress indicator, then reboots (again).
I don't use Gnome so my understanding of this is based only on a literal reading. It appears to say that packages are updated with a tool which among other things causes two reboots. Obviously I know that the user might just employ yum as I do myself (on KDE) but the description of the GUI tool is quite specific. Which is why I asked if that's what really happens. Call it a rhetorical question.
