Man that is too bad it is just for servers. But that is already kind of a cool thing about Linux, You can install and run apps on the fly without needing to reboot. Most anyway.

I can do that on my W-10 and android systems.

"You can install and run apps on the fly without needing to reboot."

I think you are confusing system updates with apps. Windows has enabled installation of most all programs for as long as i remember without reboots, and you can reboot explorer.exe for some of the rare few that need a reboot (or after editing the registry). Look at see the over 200 tweaks you can do with the free and well used Ultimate Windows Tweaker 4 for Windows 10, and also the list of Winaero Tweaker features)

I do not know of any Linux utilities that are comparable to them, but for me it does not warrant the loss of time to attempt to configure a Linux distro (I have tried dozens) to be even close to comparable to this customized Windows. Thank God for such tools and competition that makes good ones better.
