I’ve been using Arch for just over a year on my older Dell laptop, and have been regularly running sudo pacman -Syu but not once have I had a problem or anything break. What am I doing wrong?

      How would using the AUR help with stability?

      (unless you’re being sarcastic, in which case an /s might make things clearer)

        I think they said that because OP wrote “not once have I had a problem or anything break. What am I doing wrong?” making it sound like the problem is that they haven’t experienced anything break yet.

        AUR packages tend to break more often compared to repos ie. anything on AUR that utilizes python needs to be rebuilt if system python is updated.

          I know, that’s why I wasn’t understanding the push to use it more. 😉
