A User Command to Clean and Update System

[limotux]

@dalto

A few things here that you might want to consider/know.

Here comes my teacher again as usual.

@dalto

I am fairly certain that paccache -ruk0 and pacman -Sc do the exact same thing

So, I will edit and keep only pacman -Sc as it looks simple and “cute”

@dalto

Unless you are using a mirror that is severely broken(no out of date, but broken), there is no need to use -Syyu when switching mirrors. -Syu or in your case just yay is sufficient.

A few days ago, as I did “yay” to update I got lots of 404.
Anyway this command "clean " won’t be run daily… weekly or monthly perhaps.

The “Syyu” is on official Arch page, plus I saw it here a few times.

@dalto

pacman -Rns

I believe I got it from somewhere here on the forums. (at my main reference at A Complete Idiot's Guide To Endeavour OS Maintenance / Update / Upgrade (first post, point 6). I understand it helps cleaning uninstalled/orphaned packages (should I remove it?)

@dalto

You are ranking the EOS mirrors but not the Arch mirrors. Since 99% of the packages come from the Arch mirrors, you might want to add that

My ignorance comes again here.
So, I am not sure what to put to rank Arch mirrors?

@dalto

Is there a reason you are using echo "$1" into all those commands?

Well, some of them required root password, so I was trying to pass it once only.
I will modify the copy.sh accordingly later!

I really thank you for always being there to support, teach and help.
