So, just do "sudo dnf update" and when it comes back with the results,
look at them, THEN hit Y or N for yes or no to install them.

People who preload the install/update/erase command line with yes are
just asking for trouble.  If something goes rogue, a command may
install or remove hundreds of packages, leaving you with a borked
system.

That's another bit of bad advice various websites offer.
