How the fuck does pacman just install shit instantly without

Arch, being a shit distro doesn't care about making sure that packages will work when they're installed, anon.

>>57222153
It's up to the package maintainer to make sure it works. pacman will, and rightfully so, assume that the package maintainer isn't a complete retard and assume that, just like Hitler, he did nothing wrong.

I never thought apt was slow

i would ask that same question but about windows. the windows updater is the slowest updater that i have ever seen.

Preserving your config files instead of overwriting them is a good example.

pacman just checksums them and places a new file with .pacnew on the end if it's different, notifying you and leaving the change up to you.

If there's a working build, and the distro doesn't support partial upgrades, there's no conflict.
