Linux can update without reboo-

Typical.

It's a notification for updating the fucking kernel - the only thing you can't update without a reboot
inb4 unstable methods exist

I never got one of those while updating the kernel on Debian

What is ksplice

Like I said above, it's a notification for normies because it's Ubuntu. Just because your distro doesn't show it doesn't mean you can easily upgrade kernel without a restart.

this
everyone else: go back to kindergarten

most distros don't notify you because they expect you to know what you're doing. if you don't reboot, you're still running the old kernel regardless of whether or not you were notified

oh, makes sense.

Give names and phone numbers of three (3) people who use it on their desktop

You don't have to use ksplice
You can use the Ubuntu version which is free for 1 user

fbi pls

you can use kexec jumps to upgrade a kernel without reboot if your kernel

lwn.net/Articles/263286/

you should write a shutdown script to ensure your devices are in a sane state before jumping though.

That's what happens when you don't use Kali

sometimes you just have to reboot, otherwise you'd have to just mmap the new code into running shit and that just sounds retardedly nightmarish. hell ksplice which is basically the kernel equivalent of just that is basically dead because of how limited it is and how much of a pita it is to do.

also kexec doesn't count. you literally have to kill all processes and just jmp new linux from linux. that's basically restarting.

Install gentoo?

nigga wat

It's okay
Apple doesn't get viruses

>Apple doesn't get viruses
What did he mean by this

A apple a day keeps the free linux away

More like, an apple a day literally makes you gay.

>t. Too retarded to find out about "applying critical kernel updates without reboot" which muh stupid african distribution baboontoo has
kys

What's the difference?

>install mint
>screen tearing everywhere
>install nvidia driver to fix the tearing
>reboot into blackscreen
lol

Install gentoo

Should have paid for Ubuntu advantage mate. You get canonical livepatch service with that. That's what you get for being a cheapskate

>Paying for shit

It's f to pay respect
you fucked up

If you're going to be pedantic, the OP states:
>Linux can update without reboo-
Mocking and implying that Linux cannot be updated by reboot. Notice the key word "can" and its inverse "cannot." It only takes one counterexample to defeat OP's argument. Ergo, there is no fallacious logic here, and no true scotsman was never used by showing one counterexample.

It only does this for updating the kernel or shit that needs to restart the display server (though you don't actually have to restart the whole system for that)

You can simply ignore it and keep running the old kernel if you want.
