- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

4. No recent reposts

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

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."
Source: I don't use Arch btw.
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
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
source: I use Arch btw
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
