[Discuss] Fedora 27 and dnfdragora

[Jerry Feldman]

dnfdragora is simply a graphical interface to DNF. I installed it and
tested it, but I generally use dnf on the command line. It is not needed.
The advantage of dnfdragora over the Gnome Software application is that it
will not automatically reboot your computer. For those of us who know when
to boot after an update, dnf and dnfdragora are good, but to most users the
Gnome approach is better because a reboot is always performed.
