sudo pacman -Syu
I just aliased “sudo pacman -Syu && yay -Syu --aur” to “update” cause I got tired of writing it every day.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to just yay -Syu to update everything, normal packages and AUR packages?
The reason I did it like this is because:
- I didn’t know yay could invoke pacman
- I didn’t want yay “upgrading” my pacman packages with AUR packages.
But I was just misunderstanding yay. As another comment said before you, one can just run yay without any arguments and it accomplishes the same thing.
You can just run yay
with no arguments and it does exactly what your update script does.
