One command to rule them all: update every packet on Arch

I use Arch BTW

- a typical Arch Linux user

Sometimes AUR packets break. And most AUR helpers allow you to skip them. But what if you want to do that automatically?

yay -Quq --aur | xargs -n 1 yay -S --noconfirm

This command will query all packets installed from AUR that can be updated, and then proceed to update them one by one. When an installation fails, it will automatically skip to the next one, instead of screaming “I cannot update!”.

You can replace yay with your favorite AUR helper, most of them should work.
