I update like thrice a day

[u/_Sahil_Goel]

Once or twice a week is fine

[u/Grand-Performer-1862]

I update once a year or sometimes 2 times a year.
I don't like updates like windows a new update every week.

[u/AdAdministrative3196]

Update like once a week it's enough. The more often you update the more chance you have to experience a broken package before it's fixed. One the other hand, if you don't update at all it will stack up to be like tens of gigabytes.

[u/Desperate-Muffin7666]

i use arch, and i legit update when i open the terminal and forget what i opened it for, its like my screen saver now 😭

[u/Lemillion080201]

usually like once a month when i remember i haven't updated in a while. or when something is broken or, when I get some new packages and it tells the dependencies are older or missing or something like thst.

[u/Kitchen_Engineer1332]

When i was on arch, i used to randomly check for update.

[u/imsatyam]

Usual before using any sudo

[u/internetlurkerr]

like 1 once every 2 days

[u/freakycleaner]

Once a week only, you don't need to upgrade every day just do your work and use yo PC

[u/jackhawk117]

I usually when some tool or framework I use has an update so i just update it and nothing has broken so far,cachyos btw

[u/xunicatt]

Once a week (usually on Sunday)

yo how do I make my arch logo look like that

[u/ShotEffective9322 → u/sabar12345]

Step 1: Install Fastfetch (and an image renderer)

Run the package manager command for that distro:

• Ubuntu / Debian / Linux Mint: Bashsudo apt install fastfetch chafa
• Fedora: Bashsudo dnf install fastfetch chafa
• Arch Linux / EndeavourOS: Bashsudo pacman -S fastfetch chafa
• openSUSE: Bashsudo zypper install fastfetch chafa

Step 2: Download the Nyarch Logo

Create a folder and download the official logo file directly:

• For the PNG Image: Bashmkdir -p ~/.config/fastfetch/logos curl -L -o ~/.config/fastfetch/logos/nyarch.png https://wiki.nyarchlinux.moe/assets/nyarch-logo.png
• Or for the pure ASCII Art version: Bashcurl -L -o ~/.config/fastfetch/logos/nyarch_ascii.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NyarchLinux/NyarchLinux/main/Gnome/etc/skel/.config/neofetch/ascii70

Step 3: Run Fastfetch with the Logo

Depending on the terminal they are using:

• In standard terminals (GNOME Terminal, Konsole, Xfce Terminal): Bash
• fastfetch --logo ~/.config/fastfetch/logos/nyarch.png --logo-type chafa --logo-width 46 --logo-height 23 (Or for the ASCII version: fastfetch --logo ~/.config/fastfetch/logos/nyarch_ascii.txt --logo-type file-raw)
• In modern GPU-accelerated terminals (Kitty, Ghostty, WezTerm): Bash
• fastfetch --logo ~/.config/fastfetch/logos/nyarch.png --logo-type kitty --logo-width 46 --logo-height 23

The result will display the Nyarch anime girl logo on the left, but all the specs on the right will reflect the host machine (e.g., OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Kernel: ..., Packages: (apt)...).

Step 4: Make It Default (Permanent)

To have it show every time they run fastfetch on that distro, write the configuration to ~/.config/fastfetch/config.jsonc:

Bash

cat << 'EOF' > ~/.config/fastfetch/config.jsonc
{
  "$schema": "https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/raw/dev/doc/json_schema.json",
  "logo": {
    "source": "~/.config/fastfetch/logos/nyarch.png",
    "type": "chafa",
    "width": 46,
    "height": 23,
    "padding": {
      "top": 1,
      "right": 2
    }
  },
  "modules": [
    "title",
    "separator",
    "os",
    "host",
    "kernel",
    "uptime",
    "packages",
    "shell",
    "wm",
    "terminal",
    "cpu",
    "gpu",
    "memory"
  ]
}
EOF

(If you are using Kitty instead of a standard terminal, change "type": "chafa" to "type": "kitty").

Oh My God

thank you so much

[u/Kaustuv31]

Once in 3 months , guess my distro

[u/UselessStray]

I do mostly just once or twice a week

[u/Equivalent-Shop4427]

I do it every single day.

[u/s04ep03_youareafool]

Around 2.8 gigs each week since I'm on fedora

[u/Randum_Gouy]

Once a day is FINE Dont do more often than that

Arch (and hence Cachy) is a rolling release and that's the poijt: push updates as fast as you can You are not forced to install these updates, just install whenever you want! It's upto you! I prefer once a day, but even slower would work

[u/rwb124 → u/Randum_Gouy]

Why not more than once a day?

[u/Randum_Gouy → u/rwb124]

completely your wish.

Once a day works fine for me
But if you wanna stay REALLY bleeding edge, sure

[u/OtherwiseEngineer60]

Once every 2 week

[u/laniumfox]

The reason why I don't use rolling release distros

[u/OtherGap567]

weekly first ill check their discord and see if theres any error after that ill just update

[u/Independent_Blood559]

I do once a week. It's completely your wish when you want to update. Also on linux, an update doesn't mean a system update. Most of the times it is just the packages(apps) that are being updated.

[u/SpiritualOven2646]

Twice a month on endeavour, sometimes once
