1st: Fedora
2nd: Arch

Debian would be: "nothing changed!" (with a sad or happy guy depending on use case)

With Debian it's more like "cool, everything still works as expected."

Your arch system would probably have updates unless you just updated within the last few minutes. Being suprised seems a bit unnecessary.

I sometimes update out of habit almost immediately after I updated. That's always a little disappointing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

And then you actually have a new update available... Happens to me to often

Oh god, me too. It's a Pavlovian response!

Finally, a use for the * * * * * * cron expression!

If you're on Arch, then you want those tasty hourly updates om nom nom

All I wanna do is sudo pacman -Syu

[–] TwilightKiddy 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

paru -Syu, you don't want to forget your AUR packages, right?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (2 children)

You can do the same with just paru. No flags necessary.

Or save yourself a character and just yay

Heathen, using any software not written in rust is sacrilege

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Exactly what I always do, since I have to use a kernel not written in rust I uninstall the kernel once I've booted so it's only in memory and no longer tainting my storage with its impurity

I'll even add some characters and use pikaur

[–] TwilightKiddy 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I like to be a bit more explicit than necessary.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Explicit is better than implicit.

Unless you're trying to get a movie or game to get a teen-friendly rating, in which case you might not want to make the sex scenes quite as explicit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I have seen horrors beyond comprehension because i tried updating aur packages

[–] TwilightKiddy 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Well, it's easy enough if you only use precompiled packages. Beyond that you should probably have a better understanding of what you are doing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Oh no i know what im doing. I just had dependency hell way to often with aur packages so i just dont update them anymore unless i need to do so

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Not being able to Syu every 5 minutes and only being able to update once a day was the biggest challenge when I changed to NixOS
