this thread is hilarious
S is for sync, which installs packages from the repositories. u is for upgrade, which upgrades out-of-date packages. y causes pacman to refresh the package databases. In short, it upgrades all packages that are out of date. It’s a very standard command and not dangerous lol. Btw, with yay just typing in “yay” without -Syu does the same thing, which is convenient
Well snap itself isn’t proprietary, the backend server distributing the snaps is.
