And which of these announcements really required manual intervention on a VPS running a webserver? A webserver clearly doesn't use a GUI library like wxwidgets, probably won't run keycloak, and the GRUB change depends on your environment, with good chances that it will still work without re-writing the bootloader. In any case, just subscribe to the arch announcements mailing list and you'll get an email notification in these cases. Not sure if I would put pacman -Syu into cron though.

Strictly a web server doesn't appear to would have required manual intervention in the course of those exact updates. But the point is that manual intervention is required from time to time. Also, Keycloak is very much on my TODO list to host. > In any case, just subscribe to the arch announcements mailing list and you'll get an email notification in these cases. Not sure if I would put pacman -Syu into cron though. That's exactly my point. With Arch you're expected to watch out for mailing list updates and running updates automatically with no human supervision is not a supported usecase. With Debian it very much is a supported usecase. It doesn't mean that Arch is a bad distro. It just means it's not suitable for some scenarios that Debian is suitable for.
