I’ve been using Arch for just over a year on my older Dell laptop, and have been regularly running sudo pacman -Syu but not once have I had a problem or anything break. What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks—I am running the zen kernel because I didn’t really understand the question during archinstall, and have added an AUR helper but still no lack of joy.

    I’ll definitely give this a go—probably on Friday afternoon.

      I misunderstood your post. This command I told you is to make things better, not worse haha

      If you really wanna make your Arch unstable, you may wanna install every single package with pacman -Sy

      Also maybe you wanna install everything from AUR

        lol! There’s such a mix of people being genuinely helpful and people telling me the joke is past its sell-by date. But I hadn’t come across reflector before and will definitely give it a go—thanks :)

          Please don’t run arbitrary commands just because someone on the Internet told you to use them.

          The arch wiki will tell you all you need to know and more.
