Not exactly difficult. Obviously, if the kernel's been upgraded, you need
to restart to get it running. Otherwise, you run
Or glibc, or dbus or systemd or ...
sudo dnf needs-restarting
to find out what, if any, programs need to be restarted. (If you don't have
it installed, you can get it by installing dnf-utils.) Most of the time,
either nothing needs restarting, or there are one or two programs you'll
need to exit and restart on your own. Occasionally, you may need to log
out and log back in, but having to reboot for anything less than a kernel is
fairly rare. HTH, HAND.
Yeah, needs restarting is pretty cool.
If you are logging out and back in, a reboot really isn't that much more
hassle IMHO. I used needs-restarting for a while a few years ago, but it
was pretty often that you basically had to restart everything and a
reboot was just a lot easier.
YMMV.
