It says package managers but I don't remember seeing any forced restarts with flatpak. I just now updated Firefox but it doesn't force anything. I just won't be using the new version before restarting it.

I don't remember it happening with system packages either on my system but it's been quite a while since I've updated that one.

    With flatpak updates, new tabs usually show a message that the browser needs to be restarted, or that something failed, I don’t remember exactly. At least that’s what happens on my machine.

    I know I've seen that on Windows and I think on Linux before, but I did a test when writing that post where I updated and then opened a new tab and even a new instance of Firefox and it didn't bother me about restarting. Weird
