when you use dnf, and there is a kernel update, the kernel will not be updated until you restart, yes, you will still be using the old kernel until your next restart. You can confirm this by running: uname -r. I have no idea about the unencrypt part as I don’t use encryption! sorry.

The only time a restart is needed to implement updates is when the kernel is updated. The "Software " program prompts you to do so, dnf does not.

Yes, but something light and instrumental. Often classical. It relaxes me.

I really enjoyed many movies form last fall I don’t believe any had left elements per say …but one of my favorites was “The Eyes of Tammy Faye”. Tammy Faye always intrigued me.

Assuming the homeowner isn’t wealthy, the current homeowner probably needs the entire payment upfront in order to move to a new house - that would be the case for me anyhow.
