do a complete reboot before updating from console !
Lmao will do.
Just gonna reflash the drive first though, incase it won’t boot back up again.
After reboot:
~ sudo pacman -Syyu ✔
[sudo] password for inevitable:
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core.db failed to download
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from manjaro.lucassymons.net : Resolving timed out after 10000 milliseconds
error: failed to synchronize all databases (download library error)
Just gonna nuke this installation and start again. Brb.
download the actual ISO and use that instead your existing.
Yeah I redownloaded the ISO and reflashed it with BalenaEtcher
You won’t believe this. New ISO, completely fresh install, same behavior.
~ sudo pacman -Syyu ✔
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

use this command
sudo pacman-mirrors --country all --api --protocols all --set-branch stable && sudo pacman -Syu
Running it now
Another thought I have, I could try hotspotting the internet from my phone and see if that changes the behaviour, see if it is my friends actual internet connection… Though I’m not sure why it would be.
did you try the command that i gave you above and if what was the result ?
sudo pacman-mirrors --country all --api --protocols all --set-branch stable && sudo pacman -Syu
It’s still running. 
this can last a little bit, especially the mirror-detect.
Yeah that’s what it’s working on right now.
~ sudo pacman-mirrors --country all --api --protocols all --set-branch stable && sudo pacman -Syu
