Agreed. Ubuntu keeps this behind a paywall (or maybe just a sell-your-data wall), but I see no reason the same patches can’t be built and provided for free.
I can understand why I suppose
I was more talking about Windows and Android. Windows recently got hot patching support but it is only on Windows server.
Android updates are large enough that I imagine every single one comes with a new kernel and core libraries.
Exchanging those without a reboot is hard and usually not worth the risk.
On Windows, that’s a central architectural decision made on the 90s. It won’t change.
Well hot patching is a thing on Windows when you pay the right price
