I used to run a yay -Syu on my system almost daily.

Now, I run a pacman -Syu once every 2-3 weeks, and I only ever update a package from the AUR if I do need it updated or is there a serious vulnerability.

Turns out I don't have a real need to have my personal system running bleeding edge new software at all times. Sure, the updates are larger, but I no longer feel like risking my system stability on a daily basis. I'm a lot happier this way.

  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
