    The problem with that approach is that some packages on your system will likely be maintained by Manjaro and are not found in Arch, so when your system updates while that package does not, it can lead to breakage.

    Go the EndeavorOS route instead, if you want a graphical way a system you can easily convert to pure Arch.

    the timer has no idea if it was triggered during last boot. It only has the context of “this” boot, so it will do it right after a reboot and set a timer to start the service again after a week of uptime.

    So if you reboot every day, it will trigger the service every day, even though you set it to weekly in the timer.

    So it’s up to your .service file to determine if it has been run this week or not.
