From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I run a Proxmox homelab. I just had to shut everything it runs down to upgrade Proxmox. If I could hot rreload the kernel, I would not have had to do that. Sounds pretty handy to me. But that may be the multikernel approach, not this partitioning.
Honestly, even on the desktop. On distros like Arch or Chimera Linux, the kernel is getting updated all the time. It would be great to avoid restarts there too.
