Windows 11 may soon no longer require a reboot when installing security updates every month.

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

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

          You don’t need to pay money for live patching.
          They really just make you pay for having them do it for you.

            I think you forgot to mention what distro you are running.

        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.

          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…
