<p>A: You can update BredOS using the <code>pacman</code> package manager with the command <code>sudo pacman -Syu</code>.</p>
<h3 class="toc-header" id="q-where-can-i-find-additional-software-packages"> 📦 Q: Where can I find additional software packages?</h3>
<p>A: You can find additional software packages in the Arch User Repository (AUR) and install them using <code>yay</code> or <code>paru</code>.</p>
<h3 class="toc-header" id="q-the-power-consumption-of-my-device-is-high-how-can-i-reduce-it"> Q: The power consumption of my device is high, how can I reduce it?</h3>
<p>A: You can reduce the power consumption by changing the CPU governor to <code>ondemand</code> or <code>conservative</code> by editing the <code>/etc/default/cpupower</code> file.</p>
<h3 class="toc-header" id="q-the-suspend-is-not-working"> Q: The suspend is not working.</h3>
<p>A: Please make sure that:</p>
<ul>
<li>Don't suspend before 10s after just  resuming, this is a known issue with the eMMC driver.</li>
<li>Don't setup "suspend" as the action for the power button, because it will suspend the device immediately after resuming! (This will cause the device to enter a resume-suspend loop!)</li>
