Performing an update after a year of not updating the system will always be risky, especially in a rolling-release model. The fundamental rule in rolling-release distributions is to regularly perform a full update Just try to remove those packages. In fact, they are not essential. ---

Good to hear you got it booting! On those old Eee PCs, the ‘update impossible’ error is often just the system running out of RAM during the database sync. Try running sudo pacman -Syyu in the terminal instead of using the GUI updater - it’s much lighter on resources and usually gets past those hangs. ---

**Subject: Necroposting** Hi @Ursi_Janecks , We’re glad to have you here. Just a small heads-up: we noticed you’ve been replying to some older threads that have been inactive for a while. In forum etiquette, this is sometimes called “`necroposting`” — and while the intention is always appreciated, it can cause some confusion since the original posters may no longer be active and the information might be outdated. If you have a question or something to add on a topic, feel free to open a new thread — that way it gets the fresh attention it deserves! Thanks.
