that forced restart is probably going to be a huge win for our rolling release brothers and sisters.
Why? I already reboot daily because everything gets updated so much. (I'm into that)
When you get into servers, uptime becomes your drug
Firefox on a server?
I think some servers have an actual DE and all. If I remember correctly, I've seen centos with gnome.
I installed a DE on my server, I just disable sddm unless I need to do something in a web browser on that machine. I haven't needed to yet, but I have it just in case.
It really shouldn't though. Reboot your servers
Very true. I used to poweroff my laptop every day, but now, after getting into servers, I sometimes leave my laptop up overnight (even though the laptop isn't the server)
Why waste energy and lifetime of a machine so it sits there and does nothing?
I run Ubuntu Server on my server, but on my computer I want updates as soon as humanly possible.
Iβve got a super ignorant question; Is the situation with session saving on Linux desktop environments with default settings finally locked in enough that you literally canβt tell when a reboot has happened once the session is restored? Including user space apps? _Redacted_OS has been so good at this for so long that I literally donβt think about uptime on my daily driver anymore.
I'm on KDE and I'm not doing anything special regarding this, and for me the answer to this question "somewhat". I specifically hate when apps are starting by themselves so they don't do for me and I'm happy about it. But when I turn on most apps that I use they open in the state I closed them in.
no, at least not if you're doing anything with poorly supported hardware with it's own configuration tools that reset when it loses power (it is powered when the computer is on but sometimes stays powered through reboots)
Why?
Does one reboot their entire system after updating Firefox on Linux?
I never do. I donβt even restart Firefox after updating, if it is already running.
Clearly you don't use it often, firefox will force you to restart itself and refuse to render webpages.
I guess I am lucky that it does not refuse to work since it is my default browser across all my machines.
Linux machines?
Because on my Linux machines, once it's been updated, I can not open a new tab, it'll tell me to frig off and restart. I can click links in existing tabs, and might've been possible to enter a new URL in an existing tab, I don't recall exactly.
Can you even update Firefox while it's running if you're on windows?
No idea lol
