Same. It just keeps chugging along whatever I throw at it, so I stick with it.

I'm waiting to see what my main machine will do when I'll finally get to bring it back online and it finds it has 1 1/2 or 2 years of updates to install though ๐Ÿค”.

Make sure you update the mirror list and repository keys first, then read Arch news and do whatever they say needs manual intervention since your last update. Then you can update everything from the core repo and finally the AUR. Don't reboot until you're done with all the steps.

Also might be a good idea to read through https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System_maintenance for additional considerations.

I think I'll just zypper dup and let it figure stuff out by itself as I tend to trust it to work.

But thanks all the same.

Yeah, just do zypper dup.
