    Very dumb question, but I’m kinda new to Linux. Do I have to manually update that or does it just do it when I update packages and the like? I’m on Arch btw.

          “I use Arch BTW” is a meme in the Linux community. It reflects the perceived urge of Arch users to boast about using it.

          Welcome to Linux :)

      Great to hear you’re using ARCH (Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity) models! These are powerful tools for modeling time-varying volatility, especially in financial or econometric applications. Let me know how I can assist—are you:

      1. Building/estimating an ARCH model and need guidance on steps, software (e.g., Python, R, Stata), or diagnostics?
      2. Interpreting results (e.g., significance of parameters, volatility forecasts)?
      3. Troubleshooting issues like convergence errors, stationarity, or model selection (e.g., ARCH vs. GARCH)?
      4. Applying it to a specific dataset and want feedback or best practices?

      Feel free to share details, and I’ll help! 📈

      It does it automatically.
      But make sure to read the Arch news before every update, especially when it’s a lot of packages. Something big like a new KDE Release might require minor manual intervention.

        I’m more of an “update first, care later” type of person

        And it works great, 100% recommended to newbies

        Oh and make a separate home partition, just in case

        I’ve literally only read the news the 1 or 2 times there was a breaking change during an update. Blindly updating (non-AUR) has served me fine for over 10 years

          Well everyone’s milage may vary. I have set up informant some time ago so I’m forced to read the news on updates. But much more importantly I’ve ignored .pacnew files for years till it bit me in the ass when a Pam config file change broke my login so now I’m not ignoring.pacnew but merging them every update.
