hey hypothetically if I had an arch linux install that hadn't been updated in like a year and a half, how badly would it break if I did a quick pacman -Syu? Asking for a friend. #linux #archlinux

@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.
