You specify a distribution name, as there isn't a Linux 7.2 or 8.0, but
I believe there may be more than one distribution that used those version

Is a restart attempted, but it fails or is no restart attempted? If it
fails, what do the logs say happened?

Usually you want to set individually customized paths in your initialization
file for the shell(s) you use. That might be: .profile, .cshrc, .bashrc,
.zshrc,...
