Sometimes people tell me I should have gone with either Linux Mint or EndeavourOS, and otherwise don't really tell me why it's bad, just that it's bad. So far I only could find one thing, which is that their repo isn't 100% rolling for stability, and sometimes it does not guarantee stability.

They suggested, and strongly defended, using sudo pacman -Syyu

Wait I'm not supposed to run that?

It won't harm your system but it puts an undue burden on the repos. Just sudo pacman -Syu works perfectly

The double y forces a full database refresh which is rarely needed. One example of when it might be useful might be if you lost power during a dB upgrade.

Ah I see, thanks for that. I've been using syu because I didn't see a difference between than and syyu
