From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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?

Try run reflector

run0 reflector -l 10 -f 5 >> /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

I was waiting for this moment 😹😹😹

But I actually am using run0

I have no actual problem with it, the only reason I don't is that it's harder to type

That's true... But once you get used to it, you don't even notice that you write run0
