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.

The past few times I’ve run yay I’ve got these warnings about packages that are orphaned/not in the AUR. Based on the names I’m assuming these are leftover from the upgrade from kde plasma 5 to 6, are these safe to remove now? And secondly how would I find orphaned packages like that if I wasn’t using yay since I never...

So I was wondering, is there a place you can make the –debug flag output to or if there was a default location besides the terminal itself?...

There’s a few packages that I use that I have created personal patches for. When one of these packages gets updated I need to manually change the PKGBUILD to the new version, SHA, etc. Is there any way to have a local patch applied to a package every time a new version of the package is release?
