  1. #TechTipThursday: find out if your Linux box actually needs a reboot.

    After a round of updates the guessing game is always the same. Do I need to reboot, or can I keep working? On Fedora and RHEL based systems, stop guessing:

    needs-restarting -r

    It checks whether the kernel or core libraries changed and tells you straight up whether a reboot is required. It lives in the dnf-utils package, so install that first if you don't have it.

    Package management is one of those things every Linux admin should know cold.

    Search for a package:
    dnf search packagename

    Install it:
    dnf install packagename

    Check what's installed:
    rpm -qa | grep packagename

    Remove it cleanly:
    dnf remove packagename

    Your package manager is your best friend. Treat it accordingly.
