Try reflector. It seems useful for automatically retrieving the fastest and up-to-date mirror and replacing the old mirror-list for it:

Just select mirrors from different countries and let it update automatically who cares

>>107838365
Thanks, so many packages that should be installed by default but aren't. I picked Arch for the rolling release not minimalist autism
>>107838417
Shan't be doing that

>>107838278
you start by not using a clusterfuck distro used by trannies.
you use an actual distro like fedora

>>107838443
...and here comes the JeetHat shitter

>>107838278

sudo reflector --ipv4 -l 50 --threads 5 -f 15 --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

>>107838443
But I need the most up to date kernals and drivers for muh vidya

>>107838461
Ignore him. He's just an IBMjeet shill that seethes at Arch Linux all day while larping as "employed"

>>107838479
the jeet is right though

>>107838278
install reflector. run the reflector service file or better yet set the reflector.timer to run once a month to refresh mirrors.

# Enable and start the timer (this triggers the service based on the schedule)
sudo systemctl enable --now reflector.timer

# (Optional) Run the service immediately once to update your mirrors right now
sudo systemctl start reflector.service

sudo nano /etc/xdg/reflector/reflector.conf

for weekly

[Timer]
OnCalendar=
OnCalendar=weekly

for monthly

[Timer]
OnCalendar=
OnCalendar=monthly

for quarterly

[Timer]
OnCalendar=
OnCalendar=*-01,04,07,10-01 00:00:00

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl list-timers reflector.timer

>>107838449
It really is the Jeets who always screetch about trannies at the top of a hat isn't it? Does it earn them Izzat or something?

>>107838647
the reflector.conf part i forgot to put the rest

this is for configuring the mirror prefernces when the service file runs

sudo nano /etc/xdg/reflector/reflector.conf

example config

--save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
--protocol https
--country US,Germany
--latest 10
--sort rate

Fedora sucks and IBM is not trustworthy

>>107838419
Why did you pick Arch when you did not want Arch?

>>107838671
There's a lot to like about arch but I'm not going to go through the hassle of installing every package I need if I ever get another machine

>>107838687
If you want a distro with plenty of shit you didn't ask for installed by default there are options for that like fedora

Not that anon, but another Fedora user who loves it: Reminder that Linus maintains and tests the kernel on Fedora.

>>107838687
You can get EndeavourOS which installs a Arch-based desktop but without the minimalism autism

>>107838732
EndeavourOS is hardly different from Arch. I ain't that guy but I have tried both and I had to install tons of shit on EndeavourOS, perhaps even more than I did on a system that was deployed with Archinstall (without using a custom script obviously).
If you want bloatmaxxed Arch, EndeavourOS isn't the way. Almost literally just Arch with a KDE live CD based archinstall.

>>107838732
Distro forks are cringe and retarded

>>107838278
I thought it did do that. I had a broken mirror for ages before I finally got around to removing it. It was just annoying and kept warning me every single time.

>>107838461
Just got clone the kernel source and build it yourself

>>107838647
>dude just paint over the mold

>>107838278
sounds like pacman needs to be Rewritten in Rust™ ASAP

>>107838278
Don't use mirrors it will default and you'll get the fastest experience.

Mirrors are for fags.

>>107838895
no its actually the correct way to maintain a system but you roomtemp IQ fags wouldnt know anything about that.

>>107838419
There's nothing inherently "minimalist" about Arch. You're simply expected to know how to configure your system. Nothing "should" be installed by default except what's required to boot the system. That isn't "minimalism," it's giving you control of your system, which is the entire point. You're free to make your Arch install as light or heavy as you wish. If you want automatic mirror selection, you install it. If you don't, you don't. It's not a complex concept.
