pacman -Syu; reboot on a root cron every day during work hours for the true windows-like experience.

I run paru -Syu 4/5 times per day 😛

I pretty much run a pacman -Syu every time i sit down at my computer for the first time in a day haha. On my laptop it might be a while before I turn it on and run an update, so in those cases I’ll check the website to see if any kinda manual intervention is required.

if you fear issues then setup automatically snapshots of your system

anyway I’m running monthly updates on my Arch Server for years
just don’t forget to reload your kernel modules upon a kernel update (or just simply reboot)

Every 1-2 weeks on a Friday. Just so I have time to fix if things break.

I do a Syu almost every day, I also do a Timeshift snapshot every day. So if ever something is broken I can just boot into TS and reinstall yesterday’s working system. Then I read the forums. That way I can see what breaks the system Only ever needed to that twice because of Nvidia updates (I’m running a very old card)

I do it once per month, unless I need it for some reason, like installing a new package.

sudo pacman -Sy every couple of days.

sudo pacman -Syu every two or three months (or as needed to install a new application).

I usually run paru -Syu before I reboot, so anything between 2-3 times a day to once a month

I update every friday. Had only 1 issue so far

I run pacman -Syu once every 1-2 weeks.

Anything after a week or two is playing russian roulette in my opinion. Arch has so many fast moving packages, the longer you take the more likely it would break. That might not be the case anymore, but that is my opinion.
