minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink13•4 days 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.

minus-square@IHateRedditlink10•4 days 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
