what's there to not like about ~7:40PM~?
That's probably one of the updates
The clock updates every minute.
I haven't updated it in years for fear of this Y2K issue. What's ahead for me guys?

yolo, friend. yolo.
what packaging system?
Duct tape and baling wire, perhaps?
Strapping tape and cardboard is way cleaner.
don't forget the spit! pulls everything together nicely - lubricates, seals and protects.
Just think of all the great things you're going to learn about emergency boot recovery!
Side note: "I'mma" is a contraction of the whole phrase "I'm going to" or "I'm about to" so it's followed immediately by the verb indicating what you'll be doing:
"I'mma rawdog this sucker without backups."
Yes, I added sucker, because it's going to suck up all your time and data, sucka!
Op should have used "I'm finna rawdog this jawn no backup style"
For no reason other than mixed US slang from different regions sounds funnier to my ear
"no backup style" hits just right.
I’ve always thought of it as I am gonna
That's the lightly slangy version I would normally use, but as long as I was being pedantic I thought I'd better avoid any contractions in that part.
Just do a fresh install man. I'm getting anxiety just by looking at it.
If forgetting/not wanting to update puts you in this hole, like… ever, you should really give an atomic distro some serious consideration.
Say more please? What's the advantage?
(correct me if I'm wrong, I'm also new at this)
There are two partitions. One with the current system, one with the previous system. Updates are applied in a whole batch at once, once in a while.
Current system is cloned into the old one and an update is applied to the clone.
Once the update is complete, system reboots in the clone, and what was the current system becomes the previous one.
If something goes bad, you can reboot into the previous system and fix the clone.

I know its a meme but nixos is actually good for this. You can be on the unstable branch, not update for 5 years and still get everything working after updating(tho i dont recommend because of security). I think nixos has some fucking AMAZING features but the problem is its paired with features that make it extremely hard to use for a casual user.

It's my experience that Ubuntu and Fedora break if you don't upgrade often (and then suddenly do after a year), while arch doesn't... Which is interesting, since it's supposed to be the other way around...
I think it's because Fedora and Ubuntu add a lot of new things, while arch just updates it's packages.

It's been an hour, I think OP didn't make it!!!!
Maybe I'm just screaming into the void here, but does it seem like, as a person who is still relatively out of touch with linux, I don't necessarily have to update my Arch distribution whenever there are new updates available? I could theoretically just go on downloading new programs, uninstalling old ones, using everything as it sits until theoretically something breaks?
You'll run into security and stability problems if you put it off for too long.
I don't necessarily have to update my Arch distribution whenever there are new updates available
Clearly, op agrees
You should always run a full upgrade when installing a new package to make sure your versions are all in sync. Like if your new package is looking for version 1.1 and you have 1.0 installed, the new package won't work. In general, everything should be installed with 'pacman -Syu' not just 'pacman -S'
If you don't install any new packages, then no you don't need to upgrade anything. You're just missing out on security patches and upgraded features. It's worth running occasional upgrades.

Iirc, the Arch wiki says you should synchronize all packages while adding new ones, and it’s technically unsupported. It might work in some cases, but personally I didn’t have to do much to not be able to launch something because symbols missing in libraries or no such file altogether. To avoid problems it’s better to sync packages fully at least once in a while.
Op, it's been an entire day... How'd did it go?
I fear the worst
He's dead, Jim
2,409 updates could mean like two days of restarts... I'm just going to turn on some bagpipe music and stand on a hill in the wind looking out at the computer shaped clouds on the horizon.

And they were never heard from AGAIN! Oooooooo It is horror month, and that's pretty scary! :-D
Thoughts and prayers fren
And that is why I use Opensuse tumbleweed, no worries ever (zypper takes a snapshot before and after each upgrade, single command to roll back)
Not to mention that a two or three thousand package update is rookie numbers for zypper.

Praying for your computer, friend
At that point I'd just backup my data and do a fresh install - would probably take less time too
