As a long time Linux user I’ve switched some family members to Linux too. I didn’t want automatic updates, but it makes reviewing updates sometimes a bit much. Prompted a #bash script, which turned out useful imo: pkgupdates (tested on various #archlinux distros) It depends on pacman-contrib, and does not make any changes, just gives you an overview of updates per repo.
