What if I don't want to reboot my computer, Ubuntu? What then????
@abucci I _thought_ the Linux Kernel grew this ability to be able to hot reload itself without requiring an actual system reboot? But I _might_ be mistaken, as I cannot find such a feature anymore and the Web is total garbage for finding anything (despite Google).

@prologic maybe it did, but if so that does not seem to have much impact in practice because I feel like I'm constantly being told to reboot
@taigrr my OS does not do that in practice.
@taigrr Yeah I _knew_ this was a feature that was introduced some time ago, but as @abucci said, I've never seen it used in practise anywhere really š¢ -- Maybe it doesn't work very well? š¤

@prologic @taigrr I've never bothered to track down *why* my computer wants to reboot and why the live patch thing didn't prevent the need to. If I had the time/inclination that'd be illuminating. Being an Oldā¢ who has used Linux since 1996 (!!!), I've grown weary of providing free beta testing to the Linux community, though, so I tend to just suffer through annoying things rather than try to track them down and fix them.
@abucci Iāve never seen this feature being used āin the wildā, either. Not even sure if itās worth the trouble. š¤·

@movq I'm never not in this state:
@movq I know right? It is weird. I can confirm it's not always shown.
I've confirmed that it's shown when certain proprietary drivers are updated. For instance, I have an NVIDIA graphics card and I use their proprietary driver; whenever that is updated, a reboot is needed. I don't know if that fully explains it though. The NVIDIA driver doesn't update that frequently.
