Public bug reported:
Linux is great and famous for being able to install most updates without
Restart.
However, recently Ubuntu started showing only "Update & Restart" button
in GUI, even when no kernel packages are offered to be updated.
There should be only "Update" button without restarting when no kernel updates
are pending.
Why do people now get Windows-like experience of always restarting?
