So initially I had an issue with fastfetch where the fastfetch info was not showing in konsole. It was showing error that it could not find the dr460nized config file. I have resolved it now thanks to octopi package manager and some old posts in the forum. But that process made me realize another possible issue.
Basically the Garuda on this machine(desktop) is multiple years old. Maybe ~2020. I have ran the updates regularly using garuda-update. So I assumed everything was kept up-to-date and rolling except for things that I explicitly excluded in pacman.conf. Then in December 2023 I freshly installed Garuda on my laptop (second device). That fastfetch issue was not present on my laptop. So I checked the fastfetch version on both devices and the laptop has 2.12 (extra) while the desktop had 1.55 from AUR and updates are done. I uninstalled that and installed 2.12 which solved my fastfetch issue.
But since I had all updates done, why was fastfetch not moved from AUR to extra or whatever the Garuda devs have chosen? Am I missing some step to keep my computers updated? I used Arco Linux before and Eric Dubois used to mention running an alias command skel to keep all configs updated. Is there an extra step like that in Garuda? Or is “garuda-update” enough for everything? Do you have any recommendations for me to ensure complete update?
