@igeljaeger @uwy@niu.moe I cannot stress this enough.
This upgrade screen is REALLY important.
You may want to see whatever apt or pacman does during a system update, but in order to make a system normie proof, this is really necessary to transition them from Windows.

We're at the point where GNOME Software actually works as intended and once it finishes updating it will ask you on reboots if you want to install updates too.

@igeljaeger @uwy@niu.moe If you want to see what it does on this screen, just hit ESC and you'll see dnf. This is good cause you reboot into a safe state where packages don't break while you're updating.

But let's say you don't wanna reboot before upgrading. Just substitute the download in dnf for an upgrade command to install packages while the system is running, so just like any other system.

@igeljaeger @uwy@niu.moe I understand that this isn't as verbose, but in order to preach switching to Linux to others, I gotta learn the easy way.
