minus-square@naeap@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilink13•5 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. Maybe Mint is very conservative here…
minus-square@fogetaboutit@programming.devlinkfedilink9•5 days agoProbably driver update, like nvidia?
minus-square@naeap@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilink4•5 days 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@fogetaboutit@programming.devlinkfedilink1•3 days agoPractically speaking, restarting is easier anyway.
minus-square@some_random_nick@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink6•4 days agoFedora requiers them all the time. Sometimes there is a driver update in there.
minus-square@IHateReddit@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink10•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
