Suggestion: Run reflector before install

The default mirrors (at least for me) are painfully slow. I've been getting around this by just manually running reflector before opening the installer. Running reflector on the latest 25 mirrors should just be a default Behavior before running installation to make sure it's running at a decent speed...

Apparmor support?

Been attempting to enable apparmor, I've gone through all the usual configuration but the AA status is still giving me "apparmor filesystem is not mounted" I made sure that the package is installed, that the kernel supports it, and that the kernel boot line for enabling the LSM is there this should be working on a normal Arch installation but I assume something about the immutable system is stopping me in this case I just can't figure out what it is...

Do I need to create a boot partition for blendOS?

Hello, I was recently tryingto install blendOS, I wanted to ask if I need to create a Boot partition (512MB / FAT32) on a UEFI (GPT) system because I already have Windows installed as well as a EFI partition.Some people with UEFI have created it and some haven't, since I don't have fast internet or a lot of time, as blendOS downloads during installation.
Solution:
Well for dual booting, yeah you'll need to set up the partitions manually, with an EFI partition

Git package from aur build with every update

I've added openscad-git to my aur-packages. I realized that now, Everytime I run sudo akshara update the git repo is pulled and built from scratch which takes quite some time. Is this by design? Couldn't we somehow check the revision I'd against the one from the last install...?
Solution:
each time you update you're making a whole new system

I do not know why it looks for that file if my processor is intel, I thank you for your support in this situation.
