arch linux kinda has to be your daily driver, if you only drive it every few weeks, something happens with the engine oil or something? something happens with pacman and the fuel injector gets clogged? and my god when that happens, you get that thing turning and it just rips itself apart, grinding noises, package conflicts, black smoke out the exhaust, and you gotta rebuild the whole thing. because you made a big mistake buddy. you gotta boot it up once per week and run the updates buddy

@fireborn This is no joke. I had it in a VM I didn't run for a month or two, and after that it was so utterly broken no amount of pacman-key and pacman -Syuu could fix it. It was completely out of sync with the universe, key errors everywhere, I couldn't upgrade anything or even try to download new keys to do so.

@Aaron @x0 @josef Hmm, Most likely I'm very lucky. I'm using #archlinux on various computers for about 10 years and I am not experiencing issues like this. I also have an old laptop I am using once or twice a year. I boot it, upgrade archlinux-keyring first, then the rest and I can move on like normal.
