I find that I habitually open a terminal and run an update on every boot of my system (which gets rebooted once a day). I’m curious what other people do.

    In case someone doesn’t know it yet:

    If you update your Arch Linux system with a kernel upgrade, the kernel modules will NOT be loaded again automatically by default and things like FUSE (used in AppImages for example or other FUSE based mounts) will not work without intervention

    simple rebooting is the foolproof way or setting up kernel module reload hooks: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/kernel-modules-hook/

      And other smaller things tend to misbehave as well. For this reason I always upgrade right before shutting down my machnine anyway.

      An unintended side-effect of this is that I tend to postpone upgrades because I’m just about to leave somewhere and wouldn’t have to deal with any manual interventions.
