Hi,
maybe you need a little bit longer explanation.
If you updated the linux OS, you need restart to take effect (most of the times). If you update from the command line "dnf update" then Fedora not force you to restart, you can decide when you restart. Regarding my opinion this is the "correct" linux behavior, but you need to know, that some update (also security) will be not active (eg. kernel update) until you restart the OS.
The gnome-software application decided to take the approach to restart the computer, to ensure the update takes effect. I'm not entirely sure , but if it is no kernel-update then you will not be enforce to restart.
But you can decide which approach to take.

I thought the whole premise of moving away from having to reboot for each and every update, patch, and fix was one of the major reasons some people LEFT Windows to BEGIN WITH!? Is this going to be the "norm"?.....is it because Microsoft has integrated themselves within the Open Source community that now.....the community is starting to behave like WINDOWS!?.....because if so?...I may have to start looking for another distro. The days of me having to reboot just because the SYSTEM wants me to?......SHOULD have ended with the cessation of my usage of Microsoft Windows.I assume GNOME is your desktop, yes? Why not just update from the command line? "dnf update". Then you can decide if you'd like to reboot. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
