Question about "shut down", "restart" and core system updates

[dalto]

@blindfolded_7

because I have probably chosen “shut down” instead of “restart” when the terminal asked me to restart after core system updates, maybe I have even chosen “shut down” instead of “restart” after installing EOS (I can’t remember), I just blindly thought that “shut down” is the one that actually does a proper full restart, but… I guess not always

In Linux, either shutdown or restart is fine.

@blindfolded_7

or do these apps just get updated next time I restart and nothing wrong happens before that?

In general, everything gets updated when the updates run. However, some core components never leave memory so the don’t actually get updated until they are reloaded by rebooting.
