minus-squarenaeap@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up13·29 days agoBesides a kernel update… Which one? Honest question, as I usually just restart to be sure I haven’t missed to restart a service or something, but theoretically I could restart every program and service, that got updated. Maybe Mint is very conservative here…
minus-squarefogetaboutit@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·29 days agoProbably driver update, like nvidia?
minus-squarenaeap@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·29 days agoAh yeah, mostly kernel module updates go along with a kernel update. But you are right, yeah. Although, should be possible to just reload the module and restart X/Wayland, no?
minus-squarefogetaboutit@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·27 days agoPractically speaking, restarting is easier anyway.
