When Linux does a big update, like an update after two weeks of not

Remember that Linux distros like Debian have integrated package
management. That means there is no “hope for the best” -- it knows exactly
what is currently there, what needs to be removed, what needs to be
updated, and what needs to be added.

This is why you don’t even need to do a reboot if it is sufficient to
simply stop and start the affected services.
