CachyOS supports offline system upgrades using the pacman-offline

Adding the CachyOS kernels in order to make pacman ignore them during regular updates
The
pacman-offline
tool uses this file to determine which packages to ignore during the traditional pacman updates.Example: when you run
sudo pacman -Syu
Replace the contents of the
/etc/pacman.d/offline.conf
file with the following:Now all of those packages are going to get ignored in the regular updates but checked during the offline preparation.
-

If you want this script to be automated. Follow the following steps:

The
pacman-offline-prepare.timer
being enabled will allow systemd to trigger this script to download updates in a daily basis after a few minutes of every system startup. -
Reboot your system:
The updates will be installed during the next system reboot.
-
(Optional) Automatic System Reboots:
Enable the
pacman-offline-reboot.timer
to automatically reboot your system by default at 3am (Your timezone) if they’re pending updates. Be aware that its not always at the same time schedule due to the inclusion ofRandomizedDelaySec
which is set to 2 hours by default.

Changing the Default Shell
Currently, CachyOS uses fish as the user’s default login shell. However, you can change the default shell to whatever you like.
This is the default shell on almost every Linux distribution. It is also still used as the root user’s login shell. bash has basic autocomplete functionality and easy history management. It differs from zsh and fish in that it doesn’t have the fancy customization and plugin ecosystem that both fish and zsh have.
We provide a zsh config with commonly used plugins and configurations. It aims to have 1:1 functionality with our fish config. This is also the default shell used in MacOS.
Updating/using tldr
This tool is extremely useful for those who don’t want to read much or waste time reading a help/man page.
