Linux only needs a reboot if you want to update the kernel, normally.
but in that case you can often kexec to restart linux faster, skipping the actual BIOS/UEFI boot.
also, some distros offer live patching of kernel code for $$$
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.
PotatOS btw.
