$ yay -Ps

try on your machine

The command yay -Ps is used to update all the packages installed on your Arch Linux system using the yay AUR helper. Here's a breakdown of each component:

yay: yay is a command-line AUR (Arch User Repository) helper tool. It enables easy installation, removal, and management of packages from AUR.
-Ps: These are two flags passed to the yay command.
- -P stands for --sysupgrade. This flag tells yay to perform a system upgrade, which means checking for updates and upgrading the installed packages on your system.
- -s stands for --aursearch. This flag tells yay to include AUR packages when checking for updates.

So, when you run yay -Ps, it will check for updates to all the installed packages on your system, including both official repositories and AUR packages, and perform the necessary upgrades.
