As part of the new update policy, Microsoft will bundle all available updates – including security patches, driver releases, bug fixes, firmware revisions, and .NET packages –...
If I’m not completely mistaken, the kernel (and maybe other packages too) are not “hot-swapped” during runtime. You’re not using the new kernel until you performed a reboot.
Yeah. Live patching is someting distros/service providers charge a lot of money for to get right, and requires at least some knowedge about every patch you apply.
And it’s something no one operating a PC that regularly reboots needs. Idc if my running kernel is one version older than the one I installed, it doesn’t impact games at all. The only exception is loading modules, which is something you rarely do in normal operation. And for the only module I stumbled upon that I regularly loaded after boot, v4l2loopback (or similar), which I needed for streaming my phone’s camera to OBS, I added it to /etc/modules-load.d/v4l2loopback.conf.
Even my server’s kernel is sometimes out of sync. I only reboot programs I actually want to be up-to-date at that moment. All others can wait for some weekend or another.
