After roughly a month since switching to #linux , I've made it a ritual to paste

sudo pacman -Sc &&yay -Sc &&sudo pacman -Syu &&yay -Syu &&flatpak update &&sudo freshclam

into the terminal after every boot.

(yes, I use flatpaks on arch; you can't stop me)

@trzyglow just in case you find this interesting, there is project called topgrade that should handle both arch and flapack updates https://github.com/topgrade-rs/topgrade. The #ublueaurora people are using it and it runs in background via systemd timers, quite a neat solution to keep everything updated in the system. I think it even updates distrobox containers, at least that's the case in #ublueaurora
