Subj : 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,
