Here's something that could be exciting but also could be a whole lot of nothing. So keep expectations firmly in check, but work submitted for Linux kernel 6.6 show something interesting from Valve. Potentially a Steam Deck refresh or their new VR headset perhaps?
What you need is a file - let’s call it stick-of-joy.hook - in /etc/pacman.d/hooks:
[Trigger]Operation = Install
Operation = Upgrade
Type = Package
Target = linux
[Action]Description = Install a stick of joy
When = PostTransaction
Exec = /bin/bash -c /path/to/script
Writing this up on the go, so might have missed a syntax error or something. Make sure the script is executable - chmod +x /path/to/script.
You can test it by reinstalling the linux package - pacman -S linux.
From what I understand you’re running the script posted here, right?
