    This was the pipe dream for many many years now. Not the first time MS is talking about it either.

    It’s a thing in the Linux world and it’s just too costly to support and therefore most user facing distros outright don’t support it.

      Orlly?

      I’ve been using Linux desktop for a good 20 years now. All debian based distros (loads of them) do, all redhead based ones do, and those two together likely comprise the majority of distros.

      I can’t remember the last time I rebooted my desktop (or servers, for what it matters) beyond a power outage in the office

        Your updates both do not apply kernel updates but also aren’t applying in general unless you are restarting all apps, services, and sessions. Basically just reboot.

        Only servers administrated well do online updates correctly.
