You do you, it can’t hurt to reboot and work on a fresh restart. But if for some reasons you need to keep your machine up, you’ll know it is less of a problem than on windows typically

Kde neon made me reboot Everytime it updated. Turns out there was a setting I could disable. Afterwards I was never bugged about rebooting.
Used discover for updates

Even with kernel updates, you can use something like ksplice or kpatch to update it without rebooting. It’s usually only used on servers though.
And on some distros you can also just reload the kernel without rebooting
Yeah, but you’re going to pay for that.
Not necessarily, you can use

That’s just a doc, kexec is also available on Fedora, Debian, Centos, etc.
