Like I see others do - I have dropped notifiers - they are a pain.
I update the system when I install a new package - you know - pacman -Syu pkg.
So mainly I update when I have time to troubleshoot the update - if it goes wrong - I must say - it rarely do.
Years back when I began using Arch I had more issues - so either I have been learning or Arch just got better - or maybe a combo.
@Kresimir I really liked this one
