    Fuck that reboot. It’s almost never necessary under Linux. Unnecessary, forced reboots in Windows are one of the last straws that made me fully switch my last remaining Windows system over to Linux.

      At least it lets me reboot on my own time… But it is seemingly required to update some packages.

        IMO they’re just being lazy. If you just reboot you don’t have to worry about resolving the dependencies for things you upgraded.
