Linux Lite doesn't automatically patch your kernel as part of the Install Updates utility.

Normally when you patch your kernel, you have to reboot the machine.  With this live patch option, you won't have to reboot. 

You might not want it for your PC.  It's typically a nice-to-have for servers, though.
