At least, with us, you generally only have to reboot to use the update.
You can stay on the prior one, in the meantime. Unlike Windows, which
often has to reboot, you can't keep on using the computer, or other
things won't install until you reboot.
This is mostly FUD by the way. A Windows update does not require a
reboot to 'work' only to complete the install and to restart what was
updated. A reboot is the simplest way to complete the process as well as
the easiest path for the user.
Thankfully, I find it's few things that do require a reboot,
usually
only the kernel.
