Suggestion: make it harder to do a full system update using the GUI

For me that’s been since August 2022. For my partner since December 2022, on an HP laptop, and later, June of 2024, a Starlabs Starlite 2 in 1.

Then again, you’re known not to abuse your system. Any time the topic arises, the general state of a user’s environment isn’t generally factored into the conversation.

Those with a general disregard (or ignorance) of system maintenance requirements may experience more perceived issues with pamac-manager than there might actually be.

As i said previously

I suspect the issue, is not the pamac GUI, but some thing done or left undone by those users who end up having issues.

Some how, I suspect, if they had started off with pamac-cli, they might still have had issues.

Snap!

Reflecting on my earlier comment, I’m tempted to qualify it by adding that issues I have with pamac-manager tend to be on the rare occasion I use it; which in turn, is usually after reading that someone is experiencing difficulty.

Otherwise, I use Octopi if I’m too lazy to type.
