   Bookworm update behavior

   Bookworm prompts freqently, sometimes daily, that updates are available.   
   If I click the install button the machine does its gymnastics and says   
   everything is up to date. At least outwardly, no change is apparent.   
      
   Somewhere around noon the next day I _do_ notice changes. Usually   
   it's in the form of some mischief; YouTube stops working right,   
   WiFi stops working right, something like that. Occasionally, an   
   existing misfeature dissapears, ie, YouTube works better, etc.   
      
   Am I mistaken? At least about the overnight delay?    
      
   Somewhere I got the idea that modern Linux systems don't need to   
   reboot except for a kernel change. Is that correct? I've never   
   seen a prompt to reboot, nor an automatic reboot, on RasPiOS.   
      
   Thanks for reading,
