    1st: Fedora
    2nd: Arch

    Debian would be: “nothing changed!” (with a sad or happy guy depending on use case)

      If you’re on Arch, then you want those tasty hourly updates om nom nom

      source: I use Arch btw

          paru -Syu, you don’t want to forget your AUR packages, right?

            You can do the same with just paru. No flags necessary.

                Heathen, using any software not written in rust is sacrilege

                    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 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.

              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.

        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

      With Debian it’s more like “cool, everything still works as expected.”

      Source: I don’t use Arch btw.

      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
