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

        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).
