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."

indeed
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.
And then you actually have a new update available... Happens to me to often
Happened to me on Fedora last night
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
paru -Syu, you don't want to forget your AUR packages, right?You can do the same with just
paru. No flags necessary.Or save yourself a character and just
yayHeathen, using any software not written in rust is sacrilege
pacman -R linux-*
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
I like to be a bit more explicit than necessary.
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.
I have seen horrors beyond comprehension because i tried updating aur packages
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.
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
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
