My android phone and Linux computers all still want reboots after updates...

[–] [email protected] 105 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Linux only needs a reboot if you want to update the kernel, normally.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Eh, it depends. Other low-level things (systemd, glibc, etc) need a reboot too.

Technically, but it's safer to reboot nonetheless: https://fedoramagazine.org/offline-updates-and-fedora-35/

"Colonel updates require a reboot, but just normal application updates do not. And most system updates do not. I partly misspoke about Android. I should have been more clear because I was referring to the A/B partition scheme, but yeah, to run the new system does require rebooting.

Colonel Kernel

It was the British spelling.

😂 As a Canuck, we use both. But the computer term is definitely Kernel. Unless we're marching out on a battlefield....
