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

      How many people are actually using kexec to update Linux without rebooting?

        You only rarely update the kernel though

          Yeah, only four times this week. Rolling distro life.

          Windows is very lazy about reboots. Minesweeper changed? Better reboot.

          Chrome also got infected with this laziness. It used to be that you had to restart chrome once a month, now it’s almost every day. Among many other reasons, that’s why I’m happy to be using Firefox again.

        Ubuntu has live patching free for personal use built right in. It’s not exactly a niche thing.

        (I don’t bother on most machines because I reboot my laptops every day anyway, but you know; nice for servers and whatnot).

      The chrome OS is method is pretty cool having a mirrored partitions the one not being used gets updated if there’s an error the other one gets booted and reverted

      What’s Linux? This is the first in hearing of this here on Lemmy.

      Can you provide me with an .exe of it?
