It's mandatory reboot if kernel is updated? - eviltoast

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

    I’ve had issues after updating the kernel and ignoring it. I WFH and all of a sudden my sound would stop working or something else may stop. I found it much easier just to reboot after.
