When I tried Arch in '23, it worked well. Then I got busy and lazy and didn’t use it for 2-3 months. When I came back and did yay -sYu as I had learned, dozens of KDE and core packages were throwing errors and wouldn’t update. Unfortunate.
I see, I guess it was assumed that the user gets, that they have to install it again afterwards (the correct version) if they still need the software 🤔
No kidding. Why else would it be the result of an attempted update. But thanks for the continued condescension.
Can we perhaps stop pretending that it’s the most normal thing on earth to run an update and get back “hm yeah so there’s an issue, to fix it you’re gonna have to uninstall your entire GUI and half of your core operating system”, and it’s simply user error to be irritated by that in any way.
yay -Syu, and around that time KDE had switched from plasma 5 to plasma 6, which involved moving a lot of packages into the extra repository, so you had to sit there and confirm each package move (unless you used --noconfirm).
Running
yayevery other day is all the maintenance I do on my arch installation.Exactly. My wife is a teacher and she runs Arch daily, knowing only how to run yay.
❤️whish more people would understand that a good set up Arch does not need maintenance, just updates prior you turn your pc off.
You could even automate that, like OpenSource TW is by default.

You gotta read what yay is telling you…

I did. It told me I needed to uninstall them. 🤐
