minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink14•2 months agoBesides a kernel update… Which one? Honest question, as I usually just restart to be sure I haven’t missed to restart a service or something, but theoretically I could restart every program and service, that got updated. Maybe Mint is very conservative here…
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•2 months agoAh yeah, mostly kernel module updates go along with a kernel update. But you are right, yeah. Although, should be possible to just reload the module and restart X/Wayland, no?

minus-square@some_random_nicklink6•2 months agoFedora requiers them all the time. Sometimes there is a driver update in there.
minus-square@IHateRedditlink10•2 months agothey’re not required, only the update manager thing wants you to. if you update via dnf you don’t need to restart 90% of the time
