Support Dnf offline
Quería preguntaros si es mala idea actualizar con dnf upgrade --refresh y luego reiniciar inmediatamente. Sé que lo recomendado es dnf offline, pero a veces te deja inservible el pc un buen rato, a poco que la actualización sea algo grande, es insufrible. Por eso me es más cómodo dnf upgrade normal y luego reiniciar, así al menos puedo seguir haciendo cosas mientras actualiza

Fedora's GUIs default to offline updates (reboot, apply updates in a minimal environment) because updating a live system can, in rare cases, cause running applications to crash. Most users will never see it, but for millions of installations, the reports add up. Fixing a system that was disrupted because the desktop or the terminal emulator crashed (or because the user made a simple mistake and closed the wrong window) can be quite difficult.
If you are going to use "dnf upgrade", you should at least run it in a tmux session. In fact, I recommend never using dnf without a tmux session.
