I’m not an expert, but I thought on Arch you are specifically not supposed to use the discover store because it can cause partial updates which can in turn cause major problems.

However, the point still stands, pacman and the AUR are easy and have nearly everything.

Eh. I haven’t had issues for a few months and I back up my files on a weekly basis and -Syu once or twice a month. Worst case scenario, I’ll just reinstall and restore from backup.

Also, I mainly use Discover for high level stuff like browsers and IDEs.

As a Debian slut this level of sweating over updates is wild to me.

Yeah but imagine reading about a new release of something and it appearing in your updates the same day. Shiny new software every day is addicting.
