From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I misunderstood your post. This command I told you is to make things better, not worse haha
If you really wanna make your Arch unstable, you may wanna install every single package with
pacman -Sy <packagename>Also maybe you wanna install everything from AUR
lol! There’s such a mix of people being genuinely helpful and people telling me the joke is past its sell-by date. But I hadn’t come across reflector before and will definitely give it a go—thanks :)
Please don't run arbitrary commands just because someone on the Internet told you to use them.
The arch wiki will tell you all you need to know and more.
