I have zypper ps -s as part of my update script so I personally notice through that when something needs to be restarted. It's pretty rare to have to do an actual reboot. A lot of the software stores notify if you need to restart. I've seen it on Discover and GNOME Store (?) at least

I guess the issue is that on most distros all of this might be a singular package instead of being a modular thing. So it might just seem Iike one big blob
I understand the argument about it being a big thing with a feature creep, but I also haven't had problems with that aspect. I've even started using systemd-boot. Shit just werks for me
It’s basically saying that it needs a 4 hour window for potential updates
That's messed up in itself
Not being able to turn the thing off is the reason to hate on it.
I don't know what Windows needs to do to get as good of a state as Linux but you rarely need to do a full reboot as you seemingly are forced to do on Windows.
That’s why Linux and software like Firefox constantly complain when you haven’t restarted after an update.
Can't confirm. Linux hasn't complained and I don't remember Firefox complaining. Maybe it doesn't happen with the flatpak
This is because many (most?) updates aren’t actually applied until you reboot. Same goes for Linux and macOS, actually
Yeah no for Linux at least.
You can have Linux without systemd. Though I'm not sure what systemd does that would be similar to how Windows tell you what's going to happen.
I think it'd be interesting to know how come an actual military is using Telegram for communication. Bizarre shit.
Just toss it around the apartment building
It does tell me. Zypper tells it outright and you'll get a list with zypper ps -s. But like said, it's very rare that you need to actually reboot. Restarting apps or services suffices.
Don't know what's up with that. With Windows it nagged about rebooting constantly. Seemingly every update. Meanwhile Linux can be just fine without, some stuff you need to restart but actual reboot is much rarer.
