When there is a new kernel
I have the opposite feeling. Upgrading kernel requires rebooting, or kernel modules is unable to work. That's annoying. Currently I use kernel-modules-hook to prevent rebooting on Arch.

What has been your most painful Linux experience?
You can use this pacman hook so that old modules survive a kernel update https://github.com/saber-nyan/kernel-modules-hook

modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found in directory /lib/modules/5.18.5-arch1-1
It’s a good idea to reboot ASAP after installing a kernel update anyway, but to keep things running smoothly in the meantime, I recommend installing the kernel-modules-hook package and enabling its systemd service, which keeps the current kernel’s modules available until after the next reboot. (Details here.)

For real why does a kernel update prevent you from opening USB drives? I don't have time to restart.
Use https://github.com/saber-nyan/kernel-modules-hook to fix this. It only happens because the package manager completely removes the modules for the current kernel from the filesystem, so you can't load them anymore.

Am I right in understanding that updates are going to often require restarting the computer? Seems like it so far...
In regards to the “Core parts of the system have been upgraded, a reboot is recommended” notifications, those don’t really mean you need to reboot then. Sometimes I go through two or three minor kernel updates before rebooting my machine. You will rarely encounter things that break without a restart after “core component” updates, and if you install kernel-modules-hook from the repos, the amount of issues you’ll run into after updating will be close to zero. I’ve only encountered this kind of issue once with that package installed, and without it it’s fine too, you’ll just have to reboot if you want to do something like modprobe after a kernel update.

kernel-module-hooks in [community]
FWIW, kernel-modules-hook is really slow because it depends on rsync, and it rsyncs everytime the hook is fired. https://github.com/saber-nyan/kernel-modules-hook/issues/14 https://github.com/saber-nyan/kernel-modules-hook/pull/15

mkmm release - a successor to kernel-modules-hook - looking for feedback
Thanks for this! I'll switch from kernel-modules-hook and see how it goes.

Installing DKMS modules for virtualbox takes forever.
If you're talking about kernel-modules-hook, haven't you enabled the systemd service to cleanup the old modules as mentioned in the GitHub repo's README?

dnf + fzf
You might also get some inspiration from https://github.com/DanielFGray/fzf-scripts/blob/master/pkgsearch which is actually cross-distro (Linux only) and has uses things like -C flag to use the system's cache itself rather than building one by hand.

Fzf – a command-line fuzzy finder
For further inspiration, there are some interesting scripts making use of fzf here: https://github.com/DanielFGray/fzf-scripts
