What’s the Ideal Update Frequency for Omarchy Linux Users?

Hi everyone!
I’m a new Omarchy user coming from Ubuntu, and I’m still trying to understand the best practices for keeping the system updated.

I’d like to ask a few questions based on your experience using Omarchy:

1. How often do you usually update Omarchy?

  • Daily?
  • Weekly?
  • Only when a notification appears?

2. Do you prefer updating via the Update > Omarchy menu, or do you manually use pacman/yay?

I’ve read that the Omarchy Update option is recommended because it handles configurations and migrations, but I’d love to know your real-world habits.

3. Any tips or best practices for new Omarchy users?

Things like:

  • How to minimize update-related issues
  • What to check before running the update

Thanks in advance!
I’m looking forward to learning from your experiences and understanding how you keep Omarchy stable and up-to-date.
