Right now, I’m on my fresh EOS installed and configured. To take care of it, I’ll start by doing 2 things:

First:

Second: yay once a day!

Just don’t sudo yay, or you’ll be this meme:

Also, with sudo, it’s very easy to break @fbodymechanic’s rule no. 1. Use it cautiously and never when you can do the same thing without it.

I love that meme! :rofl:

And yes, that’s one of the first things I’ve learned while testing EOS on Virtualbox, maybe I’ve should explained those 2 steps:

  1. Just sudo it! - Learn how to use terminal and stay away from GUI installers. But use sudo only when it’s needed; I know I can search a package in pacman without sudo, it’s as easy as pacman -Ss <package_name>
  2. yay once a day - Always keep system up to date; note that I didn’t say “sudo yay once a day”
