Not having to reboot after updates is my favorite part of Linux so far.


Not having to reboot almost ever is also pretty nice.

All Linux distros require a restart for kernel upgrades if you want to use that new kernel version. Or are you saying that Ubuntu actually forces the user to restart after a new kernel is installed?


Ubuntu forces a reboot on kernel upgrades fwiw.


I said almost. How often are you upgrading your kernel? Most of us don't upgrade very often.


Whenever the automatic update picks it up. So, basically all the time--every week or two, anyway.
