KDE Neon used to do this. Almost always caused issues after update with stuff crashing due to mismatch of versions talking to each other over D-Bus and such.

So they moved to something more like the Windows style, where it downloads, reboots to apply and then reboots again freshly updated.

KDE sometimes borks after big Qt or KDE updates. I just logout and login.

This what it said on the tin since forever for Linux systems, and it doesn't hurt.

Right, but a reboot is just as quick and then you get to load everything from scratch so I just ended up doing that.

  My systems run a couple of services, too. So, I don’t prefer to reboot unless I’m upgrading the kernel or something in close vicinity.
  Also, it surfaces long-running bugs so I can report them.
