It feels incredible that in 2024 Windows is the only operating system that has to do multiple restarts for system updates to be installed, whereas macOS and Linux rarely need it.
I mean it’s not a big deal it just feels weird, like it’s a choice that they’ve made that some updates require a restart to install.
@renbymon I've had to restart Linux for updates just about every single time I run them which honestly annoys me because it didn't used to be like that.
@dragonarchitect Oof yeah that would be annoying. I’ve not had that on any of my Debian servers/desktops except for some kernel upgrades.
It’s less the restarting for updates to take effect more that Windows has that update mode that it has to switch into before it’ll even start installing updates and then (in the case of the last few updates I’ve done for my work laptop) it’s had to restart multiple times in the process.
