It's clear one has to reboot for that. But I'm trying to avoid reboots after package updates in one single Fedora version, the ones that are showering in every few hours .... And I'm talking about this, from Adam Williamson, a Fedora guy: "The 'STANDARD FEDORA SOLUTION' for Workstation is offline updates with GNOME Software." ... which I understand as a need to reboot even after simple package updates. Link again: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/de...@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/7ULAG243UNGTOSL6URGNG23GC4B6X5GB/ Or here, again Adam Williamson: "The safest possible way to update a Fedora system is to use the ‘offline updates’ mechanism. If you use GNOME, this is how updates work if you just wait for the notifications to appear, the ones that tell you you can reboot to install updates now." https://www.happyassassin.net/2016/10/04/x-crash-during-fedora-update-when-system-has-hybrid-graphics-and-systemd-udev-is-in-update/ See? "The safest possible way to update a Fedora system is to use the ‘offline updates’ mechanism." That's why I started the thread. Again: I use dnf, not the GNOME update mechanism, but from how I understand A. Williamsen, this might also apply to package updates via dnf and the reboot following on that ...
