5 minutes?
How does one go so long between updates?
Do you have a minute to talk about our lord and savior, archlinux?
Does it come with literature?
Depends. How many virigns in heaven do I get?
Zero, but you'll love the uniform
Only one, and it's you.
POV: You haven't updated Arch for 5 minutes
Comparing the date on the tweet with the date when arch released go-2:1.26.1-1, it appears that it had been over a week since the last upgrade.
Step one, uninstall garbage like Deno, VSCode, fucking GitHub CLI.
REEEEE someone is using their computer not how I would use it!
lmfao arch users are such losers
#debian #stable #roll on deez nuts
I keep my install pretty clean, for a desktop machine. Though I use a heavier DE (KDE) so that brings a lot of dependencies. But I only install software via pacman/aur that I am familiar with and know I'll use. If I want to futz with something new or just temporarily, I'll do it via virtualization, flakpaks, nix packages, or app images.
Point is, I try to keep the cruft to a minimum, but I find the meme holds true still.
I use Artix BTW. For now anyway. But so far so good!
This is not even a meme. I updated my laptop yesterday and here I am doing yet another upgrade with 400mb+ dl size.
I was trawling through Octopi and saw an update notifier. Thought it was neat. Now I won't have to update if there's no updates, I thought.
I removed it after a day. I could have set it to only look once a day, but realised that if I just update as part of what I do before I shutdown then I basically got the same effect, without being actually notified of anything. I don't think there's ever been a time where I ran an update and it said "nah nothing to do π"
This is all fine as long as you are not on a throttled connection. I read an blog post a couple of years ago in which the author switched from Arch to Debian for a longer offgrid vacation for this exact reason.
Just donβt update
Just install pamac, it can update every time you shut down. I don't mind it updating every day if I don't have to babysit it.
That'll be three gigs to download hut we will give you 200 megs of free space back, as far as what's changed? We've further optimized the system for you and you can enjoy using it as before ie more better but nothing you'll notice.
I understand why but updates that do nothing but keep you up to date are annoying for the user.
I borked my caxhyOS install yesterday with a sudo pacman -Syu......
Took me about 5 min to fix restoring one of the snapshots in the bootloader
