      That can be nice, but if I actually care about new features in a program Im compiling the RC manually. Otherwise its just more frequent 50GB downloads for some imperceptible incremental change to CUPS and Libre Office.

        That’s actually one of the reasons I switched and settled on arch. Not only do you get latest upstream binary versions, but building stuff is easier without the need to hunt down all dev package versions and a lot of packages have their git versions in AUR. Pull in all latest commits, build and install with just a single command!

        Well I have no idea what kind of Libreoffice you’ve been installing lmao. I likely spend more bandwidth looking at memes and shitposts and youtube per day than a single weekly update.
