NEVER run a command you don't know the purpose of. That being said, "sfc" stands for "System File Checker." It is a utility that can help restore corrupted windows files. sfc /scannow checks your protected files and restores corrupted files from a local cache. The process can take some time and you MUST let it finish it's entirely.

In conclusion, this command is generally safe to run.

You know what Arch Wiki says, no partial updates

Always a good time until your repo mirror hasn't fully synced everything so you get updated Nvidia driver but an older kernel so your video drivers don't load.

That was a fun hour until I commented out a few mirrors and tried a different one.

Yay -Syyu is a full update isn't it?

Well, I try to understand why something is included. I've run arch for years (BTW), though my current computers are running Fedora and Debian. I won't say I know everything about Linux or even installing it or booting it, but I do know more than I would if I just followed step by step.

It's the same for me but I didn't always know that much about linux.
