5 month uptime

Uptime: 5 months (running since Sunday, August 17th 2025, 14:37:03)

Running great.

No reboot for OS updates ?

Linux, no need reboot.

Whatever you say.

My Pi occasionally tells me that the changes need a reboot to take effect.

What about kernel updates? Assuming you are using Debian, if /var/run/reboot-required exists, you should reboot.

My update script checks if a new kernel has been installed and/or if that file exists and will reboot my Pi if either are true.

I did not know of this, also for kernel updates, the latest kernel in update manager, install, like linux mint, do I need to hold shift at boot/advance option and select the latest kernel to boot to, in bootup/grub menu?

This would be a question to ask at forums for your specific OS.
