      I don’t know what Windows needs to do to get as good of a state as Linux but you rarely need to do a full reboot as you seemingly are forced to do on Windows.

          It does tell me. Zypper tells it outright and you’ll get a list with zypper ps -s. But like said, it’s very rare that you need to actually reboot. Restarting apps or services suffices.

          I’m doing a lot more restarting on Linux than I ever need to do on Windows

          Don’t know what’s up with that. With Windows it nagged about rebooting constantly. Seemingly every update. Meanwhile Linux can be just fine without, some stuff you need to restart but actual reboot is much rarer.
