DISCLAIMER: Arch Linux is not a beginner friendly distribution, and this is not a recommendation or good practice.

I know how to use pacman -S. I have yet to experience a Discover related issue after months of use.

Eh. I haven't had issues for a few months and I back up my files on a weekly basis and -Syu once or twice a month. Worst case scenario, I'll just reinstall and restore from backup.

Also, I mainly use Discover for high level stuff like browsers and IDEs.

    As a Debian slut this level of sweating over updates is wild to me.

    Yeah but imagine reading about a new release of something and it appearing in your updates the same day. Shiny new software every day is addicting.

    You're not wrong. That said my broke ass can't afford cutting edge hardware so most of the time it doesn't matter.

    When it does, I can usually compensate with either a NixOs profile install, a container of some sort (or Flatpak), or just building the emefferr from source.
