Honestly it's not hard you literally just follow what is in this post and this one (Warning: config file /etc/pacman.conf option not recognized)

It's a good learning experience if it's too hard for you you might want to go to a different distro other than Arch.....

If a still Linux noob (me) can do this anyone can

I was going to say pretty much this. Merging pacnew files is just something that happens time to time. ALL Arch based distros will have to do this at some point.

SOrry I must be missing something but I can't follow up / apply the solution... Note sure how to do your diff stuff....

[chaotic-aur]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/chaotic-mirrorlist is in my pacman.conf

Tks for your patience...

So can I just update my system with pacman -Syyu While the pamac doesn't work ? Or Should I wait a day or 2 ? my totaldownloads problem is gone since I commented it on the .conf. I will keep an eye on the forums to see when to update

Yes. If you’ve built any AUR packages, you’ll need to use paru to update them. Also, two y’s usually isn’t necessary.

Just one 'y', though. Easier on the repository to let it just check the hash for updates rather than download the whole database each time.
