Run sudo pacman -Syu

Once I realize a package is going to take ages to get ready, is it possible to safely intervene to stop the process? I try to avoid it because in general I understand arch-based distros don’t like “partial” installs. But is it safe to stop compiling? No changes have yet been made, right?

AUR helper do that user friendly, just cancel the process with CTRL-C
the package gets installed only at the END of the compilation

compiling manually (no PKGBUILD or AUR helper) will be different, especially if don’t build a package first
things like make install usually don’t and can leave a mess

I believe thats only true for the unofficial version (Vaultwarden - API compatible to any Bitwarden app)

Arch Linux stable should got the KDE 6.1 update today
if it doesn’t appear in your system upgrade you might want to update your mirror list

easier to use and more stable.
