Running
yay
every other day is all the maintenance I do on my arch installation.Exactly. My wife is a teacher and she runs Arch daily, knowing only how to run yay.

You could even automate that, like OpenSource TW is by default.
When I tried Arch in '23, it worked well. Then I got busy and lazy and didn't use it for 2-3 months. When I came back and did yay -sYu as I had learned, dozens of KDE and core packages were throwing errors and wouldn't update. Unfortunate.

I do it whenever I feel like. Don't even feel the need to be regular.
