So systemd moves Linux to more resemble Windows?
No. If anything, systemd handles upgrades better than SysV init, since it handles re-execing better. Please stop spreading FUD.
Most likely the glibc and openssl updates are what people are talking about. Doesn’t require a reboot, just restarting all the services that might have those libraries loaded.
