This is an excellent answer and I wish I knew all of this when starting to use archlinux. “Arch does not support partial upgrades” is something you can read everywhere, but it’s rare to find such a good explanation of what exactly a partial upgrade is, and which commands lead to it.
I only learned about all of this when I got into some broken state by randomly running pacman commands.
Everyone, be like this guy. This guy explains stuff well. Newbies need stuff explained.



Yes, tabs in Sidebery are “tree style”, you can build them into trees and collapse/expand them, also unload, group, bookmark whole branches and trees.
Vertical tabs are, well, just tabs stacked vertically. They are not nested, do not provide context, can’t be collapsed/expanded (or folded/unfolded, whatever you prefer). Sidebery just has many more features than just “woohoo you can see tabs vertically instead of horizontally” Firefox now provides.
