I've been running Fedora for around 10 years and I'm pretty sure they don't have a different reboot for updates, except a system upgrade (F38->F39) which is opt-in and takes 30ish minutes on my PC. Normal updates overwrite the files in place, so whenever a daemon/app is re/started it will use the new files then.
- Delk 3y agoIf you update using the GUI software updater (Gnome Software), it pre-downloads the packages but (at least usually) the actual update action is "restart and update". That reboots the system and does the actual updating at that point. If you update using dnf on the command line, it works as you describe.
- BenjiWiebe 3y agoI see. Yes the first thing I do on a Fedora install is turn off the GUI updater.
