From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

[Fedora 39] Why does Discover say there's updates while dnf say there's none? Also, why does Discover need to reboot to install said updates? (lemmy.ca)

Those updates in Discover are for flatpak, not dnf. You can verify that with flatpak update.

As for discover wanting to restart to do their update, that's a fedora thing for an extra level of safety while updating. You can read about it here.

That shouldn't trigger for flatpaks though. No risk of breaking the system while updating flatpaks
