The one not insignificant downside to #ArchLinux is that it seems like updates are pretty nuclear. If you're going to run pacman -Syu, you'd better keep your ass cheeks puckered. LOL! I am sure it's not that bad but you do have to be careful, and in fairness, the Arch folks warn you that care and planning is necessary.

@ablackcatstail Once I went on a trip and left my system with no updates for a month. Needless to say the result was disastrous. #Archlinux being arch linux, who would have guessed.

@Dannan21 How often do check for updates?
Show threadDannan21
@ablackcatstail Twice a day generally. I made a cron job to do it when I am not home after the incident.

@Dannan21 Okay, I think I might just do it once a week. But we'll see if that turns out to be a mistake or not.

@ablackcatstail Probably healthier, I am a traumatized being, lol

@Dannan21 I might very well feel the same way were I in your shoes so I pass no judgement.
