The forced reboot is only an advantage if some of the upgrades require a
reboot to get them started. Most upgrades only need to have their
package restarted, and that only if it was running when the upgrade
occurs. This is what needs-restarting is for, but if you don't know how
to use dnf (and don't want to) it's not going to do you any good. And,
for that matter, what do people like that do if they're not set up with
Gnome? My personal opinion is that people like that should be using
Ubuntu, as that distro is specifically designed for Windows refugees.
(I've set two people up with Linux because they wanted to get away from
Windows, and both of them are happily running Xubuntu.)
Sorry for ranting, but forced reboots are a pet peeve of mine and you
just petted it.
