$ pacman -Syu
$ sudo !!
Umm… yay -Syu
Just ‘yay’
yay -Syu --devel
You don’t need the
-Syu
, it’s the same asyay --devel
Something new every day, I’m prone to assuming
pacman
and by extensionyay
will do weird things if I don’t have the correct number ofu
s andi
s.man yay
If no operation is specified ‘yay -Syu’ will be performed
It has been this way for years. RTFM.
Fun fact jackass, new people start learning these tools every single day.
yay yay yay
every 15 minutes
I put this in my taskbar which helped me stop running paru habitually.
On the opposite end here. I know if there’s a kernel update then I’d need to reboot and restart everything.
Only to activate the new kernel! You can just leave the current one running with minimal issues, even less if you have something like KernelCare live patching security bugs
Any dynamicly loaded module will fail. Just reboot.
Assuming any dynamically loaded module will fail, why does KernelCare exist and why is it used so prevalently in web hosting environments? It costs money, so buying it when it doesn’t work seems odd.
Very valuable high uptime servers exist but they take care, as in professional admins, to maintain it.
None of this applies to Arch or home users. You get full kernel updates and no old modules are kept. You reboot.
Other distros like Fedora keep old versions around but you still have to reboot to get updates.
Did that, arch broke, installed arch again lol
until grub shits itself
systemd-boot
babyCan’t have grub problems if you don’t have grub. The howto is great, I’ve converted a few machines using it without any (subsequent bootloader-related) issues.
