I usually update through dnf but sometimes Discover says there is a “system upgrade” with however many packages that are pending upgrade, but no details provided. It requires a restart after completing.

What is the difference between the two?

    It still restarts and does the whole “Updating, please do not turn off your computer” screen. Does dnf take care of that all? Is it even necessary to restart?

      Using dnf is betrer than using Discover. Mostly because sudo dnf history undo last exists, which undoes the latest “transaction”.

      (Each transaction is an action of removing, reinstalling, updating and installing (a) package(s).)
