    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

      It’s not a bad thing, but missing modules for the running kernel on updates is one edge case new users might not expect

        Reboot is a recommended choice on any linux system after kernel upgrade (systemd as well).

        It’s not a simple package manager and it can do a lot, not on the level of zypper but it’s pretty complete. There are some intentional limitations, true.
