Red Rabbittpacman -Syu? Asking for a friend. #linux #archlinux@HeyCallMeRed That would be 'interesting' for sure, although nobody will be able to predict the outcome, not knowing what you do on the system.
But SURELY you have a working backup, just in case, right???
@HeyCallMeRed
Hypothetically speaking,
First check archlinix.org, than do upgrade.
Btw i think this here is the only thing where you needed to do something.
https://archlinux.org/news/linux-firmware-2025061312fe085f-5-upgrade-requires-manual-intervention/
@HeyCallMeRed It might give you signing errors, fail fast and not upgrade at all, the command here should prevent that https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Package_signing#Upgrade_system_regularly
Also https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System_maintenance#Upgrading_the_system lists the usual advice: read the news, look out for changed configuration files, allocate some time do to the upgrade so you have time to fix it if anything breaks, and restart.
@HeyCallMeRed the update will prolly fail coz of some pkgs' signature not being verified, which comes from your pacman keyring having become stale. so, after a long time away, run your update thus:
sudo pacman --needed --noconfirm -S archlinux-keyring && sudo pacman -Syu
if that still doesn't work, there is a "nuclear" option, but hopefully you won't need it
edit: oh yeah, as a wise peep above said, also first review & action any relevant issues since last update in https://archlinux.org/news/
