you are on your own. I do online upgrades (not system upgrades), but I also generally
reboot right after. I prefer to do them online so I can keep using the computer while
it's happening but also dnf doesn't support offline updates yet.
FWIW, I use KDE as my desktop and do all my updates online via dnf.
After the update I run "sudo tracer" and follow the advice given. Sometimes,
no action is needed.
Sometimes, a few applications need to be restarted, Sometimes, a logout/login is best.
And, at other
times it is a reboot which is advisable.
Same here, except that I use the tracer module for dnf so it's invoked
automatically. It occasionally tells me to reboot when I don't think it
should (I've reported it as a bug in the past but to no effect). Other
than that, it works for me.
