A far bigger problem that needing to reboot is that
dnf seems to sometimes wack libraries that are in

I've seen it a couple of times with dnf (though I
suspect it may have more to do with systemd linking
in every library on the system rather than being a
tiny "init" program with no dependencies :-).
Neither systemd nor dnf are to blame -- but wayland is a lot more
fragile in this regard under the current design.
In any case, I've gotten in the habit of running dnf update in a tmux
session as protection against this.
