This is true for kernel updates in Linux as well.
Whenever I update the kernel I will need a restart eventually because it breaks the openvpn somehow and I’ve been too lazy to figure out how to actually fix it.
Still my Linux machine doesn’t nag me about restarts. The DE just pops up a notification one time saying it’s recommended.
