How do I update psxitarch (linux)

I wanna update the whole OS with the latest video drivers and everything. Right now steam doesn't even run on a fresh install because it says this. And I tried updating using "sudo pacman -Syu" but it just gives me these errors here. And even if I just say yes to the terminal and keep going it gives me a bunch of 404 errors. I also tried playing overwatch and it said no video driver was found. and I know overwatch works because I had it working on gentoo linux. I have a ps4 pro on 6.72 btw.

Strange. Maybe they don't offer updates at all? I had a bad feeling about this distro and still have.

What distro do you suggest for playing PC games.

I'm still waiting for the 7.02 jailbreak. I saw people say Gentoo and Fedora are good. Not sure if they are working on 6.72 yet.

Arch and Gentoo are rolling release type of distros and normally don't need to update to never releases, they just release updates all the time to always keep the system up to date, this makes them somewhat more unstable in nature. Fedora is not a rolling release and thus is usually more stable but instead may miss some of the newer features that often apps like for example steam proton uses.

Looks like the mirrors are old or dead, not sure if maybe the PS4 version of Arch have some custom built packages and or kernel. If they do, other updates that may require newer versions of those packages can't update. Normally arch would never need to be reinstalled to be updated, since it's a rolling release type of distro, but in this case maybe you need a newer version or manually update those packages that you get error with.

Yooooo

I had the same issue. For some reason, that happened. IDK why but I tried running the other one, Steam Native and eventually (after a few times of it not even showing up anymore) or of it saying "connecting MYUSERNAME"

It eventually showed that it was updating about 120mbs.

It ended up working (Steam Native, not the other one) [it was the 2nd one in the list under Games] and i was able to play Left4Dead2 and Rocket League.

My guess is that it needed to update.

It really does work i just cant tell you what you need to do exactly cause as i was Googling those packages, i tried it again and it finally showed it was updating. You already logged in right?

For me, it was that it opened up, i logged in and then i started having issues where it didnt work/open and then eventually it showed updating instead of just connecting and boom. Steam on a PS4
