Maybe I've just been lucky but I run dnf on a daily basis in a Konsole
terminal window (under KDE) and have never seen this kind of problem. I
don't use the graphical updater(s).
I do it also but I also take a snapshot of root first, and then I
expect without warning that the GUI could just vanish and munge a
bunch of things. It's a use case I expect to not work, even though it
Works For Me™.
