Fedora question: How come using `dnf upgrade` in the terminal doesn't require restarting, but using the "Software" program sometimes requires restarting, even if they update the same exact packages?

If you want to do a more safely software update in general you can use dnf offline-upgrade download in terminal to download only the packages. Then you can use dnf offline-upgrade reboot to install updates. The system restart in “safe mode”, apply every updates, reboot again and start the system.
