minus-squareAProfessional@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoVery valuable high uptime servers exist but they take care, as in professional admins, to maintain it. None of this applies to Arch or home users. You get full kernel updates and no old modules are kept. You reboot. Other distros like Fedora keep old versions around but you still have to reboot to get updates.
