    It would be interesting to know what share of servers have that enabled.

    I have it enabled on Debian and Ubuntu and I’m quite happy with it. But I had pretty bad experiences with reboot-less updates on other (desktop) distros.

      I think Debian is probably pretty conservative in their updates. I also recommend checking out the needrestart package. It will tell you when a reboot is needed because of a newer kernel that was installed, or when a systemd service needs a restart.

      But as another commenter noted, outside of self hosting, in enterprise businesses environments where you manage an army of servers, things look different. But then, these guys are paid to be on-call in the weekend for events like these. :)
