Does anyone know the command to Update Manjaro XFCE using the command prompt?
Surely the same as for any other DE.
pamac update

I don’t use XFCE but I’d guess the normal command will work there too:
sudo pacman -Syu
You may want to update mirrors first, e.g.
sudo pacman-mirrors -f

Thank you sir! 
@piscesdragon323: Please do not use Pamac for updates. This has been discussed here several times and has not gotten any better. Always use sudo pacman -Syu in the terminal (even better in TTY).

For a big one:
pacman-mirrors # will show if your list is fresh
If fresh, then:
`sudo pacman -Syu && pamac update --aur`
If not fresh, then:
sudo pacman-mirrors --continent && sudo pacman -Syu && pamac update --aur
You might add flatpak update to those lines.
And yes, TTY is safer (though I don’t always bother to be quite honest…).
The two most common tools used for managing and updating Manjaro (all editions); for your reference:
I’d suggest you bookmark these.

I must be getting confused. I could have sworn I saw recommendations to use pamac rather than pacman.
Work needed on my processes…
And I could swear that’s a mistake.

I make a lot of those .
While the benefits of performing an update/sync via a TTY (Outside of the GUI; after logging out) are clear, this can be achieved with either pacman or pamac.
Regarding Pamac; it’s the Pamac GUI version pamac-manager that receives the lions share of ‘bad press’ from it’s users - some of it justified; some of it a result of general ignorance.
The pamac-cli command-line tool is generally much more stable, though it suffers from the ignorance factor as well;
For example, many are blissfully unaware that one can use pamac to separate repository packages from packages built via the AUR:
1. Update repository packages:
pamac update --no-aur
2. Build packages via AUR:
pamac update --aur
Information on both the GUI and CLI versions of Pamac is freely availble for anyone who might wish to learn more;
- Pamac (Manjaro Wiki)
Just as plenty of information exists for pacman:
I personally prefer pacman, but our own preferences should not dictate what we recommend to others. Better to allow the opportunity to discover for themselves which tool suits them.
Educate where possible, but avoid personal bias.
Regards.
And thereby enable people to keep making the same mistakes? Missing the mark!
Ah, a cherry-picker!
