    I used to run a yay -Syu on my system almost daily.

    Now, I run a pacman -Syu once every 2-3 weeks, and I only ever update a package from the AUR if I do need it updated or is there a serious vulnerability.

    Turns out I don’t have a real need to have my personal system running bleeding edge new software at all times. Sure, the updates are larger, but I no longer feel like risking my system stability on a daily basis. I’m a lot happier this way.

      I only update my air packages when one of them screams at me or I need to install another aur package. I still do neuroticly run sudo pacman -Syu though. I like the yellow dot that eats the other white dots
