Hello mates,

As you know, in arch Linux the kernel is updated frequently but, is mandatory or good practice reboot any time the kernel is updated?

Edit: Thank you guys for your replies

Good practice, you won't see the update until you reboot and I suppose it could cause problems if other packages were updated at the same time and rely on the updated kernel
