Gosh, don't you ever install patches and reboot? I have to restart at least monthly to clear out all the orphan handles and memory leaks.
Patches: Yes, where I feel hugely necessary. e.g. recent Heartbleed OpenSSL and ShellShock bash vulnerability, upgrade Firefox. etc.
Reboot: No. Reboots are for hardware changes and full system clone image backups.
My spidey-senses tell me you run Windows, and are conditioned to believe that constant reinstalling and rebooting is normal. I remember those days
100% powered by penguins, me. In theory you can patch the Linux kernel while it's running. Not brave enough to try that ... a bit too much like DIY brain surgery.
