Hey, so i have kind of a noob question :D When i update all the packages on Tumbleweed with 'sudo zypper dup' there are many packages that need to get restarted since these active processes using deleted files. Normally i just restart my whole Computer for that but i wonder if there is another possibility, perhaps restarting only the libaries that are affected while my computer is still running. Is there a command for that or is it essential to restart the whole computer after updating?

May be a noob answer, but you only have to restart those were you actually want to use the updated version immediately. I did have problems updating certain packages (mainly firefox and file uh I mean directory browsers), but unless something stops working as intended you can just keep using your machine as usual. Packages will be "re" started upon next boot anyway.
