How often do you update your system? (sh.itjust.works)

I find that I habitually open a terminal and run an update on every boot of my system (which gets rebooted once a day). I'm curious what other people do.

This is so cool! Very clever solution to this issue. Thank you for sharing! 😊 An interesting thing that I ran into when testing it was regarding the difference between [pacman|yay|paru] -Qu and checkupdates: checkupdates showed that an update was available, but the -Qu option did not reveal the update. It wasn't until I synced the database with -Sy that -Qu started showing the updates.

Update (2024-03-31T03:20Z): Ah, it looks like checkupdates essentially is just running pacman -Sy and pacman -Qu.
