TuxLinux vs Windows (part 2)
KecessaNo 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.
naeapBesides a kernel update… Which one?
Honest question, as I usually just restart to be sure I haven’t missed to restart a service or something, but theoretically I could restart every program and service, that got updated.
Maybe Mint is very conservative here…
Probably driver update, like nvidia?
Ah yeah, mostly kernel module updates go along with a kernel update. But you are right, yeah.
Although, should be possible to just reload the module and restart X/Wayland, no?
Practically speaking, restarting is easier anyway.
Fedora requiers them all the time. Sometimes there is a driver update in there.
they’re not required, only the update manager thing wants you to.
if you update via dnf you don’t need to restart 90% of the time
