I don't use Windows, but from the comments it seems that Windows just forcibly reboots after some time. I'm sure your Fedora workstation will ask you to reboot, but not just do it without you triggering the action.

AFAIK in Windows there's generally a prompt for rebooting either now or after a delay that can be selected from given options. (I'm not a heavy Windows user either so I might not be right.) I've sometimes found Windows to have rebooted by itself, but that might have been because I wasn't there to react to the prompt.

But no, obviously Fedora doesn't force a reboot, nor does it give a prompt you can accidentally reboot through.

However, a part of the complaints (which I fully understand) seemed to be about the frequency of the updates, and in the name of honesty I just wanted to point out that's not really just a Windows issue.
