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.

No. Sometimes package managers run into issues though. It's rare, but it's possible. If you had been updating on the CLI you would have seen the problem.
Fedora discourages updating through the CLI.
Not true at all. It wouldn't matter anyway, because the GUIs in Fedora shell out to the underlying CLI anyway.
First, it's true. Secondly, it matters a lot because there's no fool proof way to update through the CLI that takes into account all of the software delivery methods that exist today so you could do use dnf to upgrade daily and still have old flatpak or viceversa. That's exactly why Fedora recommends updating through the GUI.
