I don't think I've ever run one of the GUI package managers. I have run "dnf --refresh upgrade" in an Xfce terminal, as root, any number of times (most of the time, in fact). I ran into an X screwup only once (early this week) and I think it was an upgrade of the session manager that blipped. I got logged out of my session rather unceremoniously, and a re-login was also screwed up.
I also run Xfce, but I use yumex-dnf (I used yumex until yum was transformed into dnf.) and have had excellent results. One nice thing about it is that if there's a dependency issue, you can go back to the screen listing the updates and unselect whatever's causing the issue without needing to start over and remember exactly which --exclude= arguments to use. And, it doesn't insist on rebooting before installing anything, which is nice if you're using a computer that you'd rather was up as close to 24/7 as possible. (Considering that you have to reboot after certain updates, such as a new kernel, this way means that you sometimes have to reboot twice for one update.)
