To add to the other comment, package managers keep a local copy of the list of available packages and the version. When you do a pacman -S xxx the package manager looks up xxx in the cache and downloads the package from whatever mirror youre using as well as any dependencies, looking them up in the same way from your cache. This works for a while even if theres a new update available because mirrors usually keep a few previous versions.

Once you do a pacman -Sy you update your cache to the latest one. If you then update xxx, it will update xxx and pull in any dependency updates required, but any other packages that depended on the same packages dont get updated, leaving you in a partially upgraded state.

What do you mean by unranked? Because it doesn’t maintain its own database, just proxies other search engines and aggregates them

Furthermore, priv.au seems to include only Google in its default search engines so its really just Google through a proxy. Good for privacy but doesn’t really help you get away from big tech

Why is mint even recommended to new users at this point. Cinnamon is nowhere near Gnome or Plasma and both of these provide much simpler and more unified experience in things like settings

Is it still gonna be super slow because you can’t reclock or is that fixed now?

Oracle cloud has a very generous free offer that i use that gives 4 arm cores and 24 gb of ram. I run about a dozen plugins including geyser and i never notice any slowdown and it never complains about missing ticks or anything. I only ever have about 4 people playing at the same time though

If you dont mind oracle then its a great option

The wiki page also doesn’t exist yet so I think its probably just that they took the Evince readme and changed all the links and its not actually published yet
