    No restart require on Linux is a joke, right? Because I get updates that require restarts as often as I get them on Windows when updating Mint.

      Unless you’re updating the kernel itself, there is little chance you actually need to reboot your machine. Just restarting whatever service or application you’re using should do the trick.

          You do you, it can’t hurt to reboot and work on a fresh restart. But if for some reasons you need to keep your machine up, you’ll know it is less of a problem than on windows typically

        Fedora issue. I restart my Debian machines maybe once every 4-6 weeks.

            Arch is on the bleeding edge and it doesn’t ask for a reboot. I think it asks for a reboot to load the kernel parts that have updated. Arch probably just assumes you’ll do it eventually, but if you don’t it’ll just keep running the current kernel.

      Yep. Every kernel update. Granted that’s less often than Windows requires a reboot.
