    I haven’t had a kernel update on Debian that triggered the “you should restart” message in quite some time. I was under the understanding that most newer systems now use splicing at the kernel level to not require periodic reboots.

      I haven’t seen it in a while either, but also, if there is a kernel update, uname -s always returns the old kernel until a reboot.
