For me, at least, that's another reason I'm glad I don't use Gnome. I
update my system every morning while I'm making breakfast, restart any
programs that have been updated and only reboot for a new kernel. I see
no reason why my system shouldn't be available while I'm updating it,
and one of the things I like about Linux is that it's designed to be up
and running 24/7, without constant reboots. YMMV, and if you use Gnome
it certainly does, but that's how I look at it.
I use Gnome and I still do my updates directly online with dnf. It's
your choice how you do them.
