Description

I recommend running -Syu instead of -Su since the latter can lead inexperienced users to a partial upgrade, and this can break the entire operating system.

-Sy without an actual update can cause mismatches between local packages and those on the server, if the user runs -S on a package that pulls a dependency already installed.

I recommend running `-Syu` instead of `-Su` since the latter can lead inexperienced users to a partial update. 

`-Sy` without an actual update can lead to mismatches between the local packages and those on the server, if the user runs `-S` on a package that pulls a dependency, that is already installed.
