Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudo
in Windows.
- No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

A simple
yay -Sy
from Arch btw takes less computing power and doesn't depend on an external dependency.Any reason not to just use
yay
? That's an alias foryay -Syu
, which in and of itself, at least if I understood it correctly, is basically justpacman -Syu
and from what I've read on the arch wiki-Sy
is heavily discouraged.But then you stuck with arch. I've never had any software that wasn't a flatpak or in the Debian repos. I use Fedora.
I would say you are stuck on Fedora too, what is your point?
There are quite a number of them, hence the reason for OP's meme.
Really? I honestly have never had that problem. Can you name a few? (I'm completely serious. Don't take this as sarcasm)
There are so many software devs that package AURs because Arch has made it easy for them to do so. No need to give examples if you are totally fine with your brand of distro.
But whether you'll hit the minor snag OP memes about depends on your software needs.
