Rebooting desktops or laptops is ok, rebooting your servers is an anxiety induced task, rebooting your archos linux, well, be prepared to spend an hour troubleshooting afterwards.

If the server can't be rebooted without anxiety, something has been configured very poorly.
I not only rebooted but upgraded my server from 22.04 to 24.04 and every single package on it this weekend with AI help - took a few hours of talking to the thing, even though the server had accumulated some ugly hacks (like installed KDE on top of Pop OS, had a newer version of glibc than supported) and runs a ton of containers. The AI figured out all the apt and dependency hell bullshit that I would never have gotten through. Its a new world!
Well obviously it was a humorous post, or maybe long time ago, my current proxmox servers never had issues in updates, upgrades, migrations, and obviously restarts. Maybe better try proxmox and have vms for your hacks, so next time you can migrate them easily, restore them, or even share them.
I run an XMPP server (Prosody) on Arch Linux since 2020. I upgrade and restart once every week and so far catastrophe has only struck once.
