A simple
yay -Sy
from Arch btw takes less computing power and doesn't depend on an external dependency.Any reason not to just use
yay
? That's an alias foryay -Syu
, which in and of itself, at least if I understood it correctly, is basically justpacman -Syu
and from what I've read on the arch wiki-Sy
is heavily discouraged.yay
in the example was used to install an AUR; not to update the system which is what you are talking about. And the discouragement you speak of-Sy
applies only to pacman upgrades, not AUR helpers. The only reason they
is discouraged in the wiki when installing a package is because it fetches updated data from the repos which might lag the rest of the system (and potentially the resulting dependencies if any). Most of the time it is not a concern as most (quality) software is made to be backwards compatible anyway.But then you stuck with arch. I've never had any software that wasn't a flatpak or in the Debian repos. I use Fedora.
I would say you are stuck on Fedora too, what is your point?
There are quite a number of them, hence the reason for OP's meme.
Really? I honestly have never had that problem. Can you name a few? (I'm completely serious. Don't take this as sarcasm)
There are so many software devs that package AURs because Arch has made it easy for them to do so. No need to give examples if you are totally fine with your brand of distro.
But whether you'll hit the minor snag OP memes about depends on your software needs.
