It mostly happened when I was using Arch, I’ve since switched to Gentoo. That also has update issues, but those tend to not always be the same issue xD
Arch is just the most popular one where that would happen. Most distros don’t have that issue; it’s an artifact of the simplistic packaging that Arch uses.
I don’t happen to know how Gentoo handles it, though
Usually I only remember to restart after an update because my USB drives stop working :D
I’d guess Arch or a derivative user?

Arch package manager isn’t really simplistic? Maintainers can mitigate this easily, just goes counter arch philosophy.
They’ve been bolting on more complex use cases, but keeping packaging simplistic was their stated goal 20 years ago

My computer won’t run veracrypt or launch some java apps.
So I’ll reboot when that happens. Haha
