Every day.

The horror of rebooting every day.

Linux doesn't need reboots for regular stuff. Proper packages can update everything from sendmail to syslog and not need a bounce.

The only time you need a bounce is

  • the kernel, but with tech since 2001 that's not even required immediately
  • if you glance funny at dbus or systemd

That's almost it.

    Kernel updates constantly on my distro. And with all the other various library and service updates it's usually simpler to just reboot than restart everything individually anyway. So 9 times out of 10 I'm rebooting on an update.
