May I humbly suggest pacman -Syu rather than doubling up the y? Here's a forum post about yy: Arch Forum Post (clear net).

It's ironic. Over the last 10 years or so, I've switched from the Ubuntu-based Linux Mint to Arch, and I used Debian for many years prior. Yet, I really can't think of any specific tips. The Arch Wiki is first class, and I just refer to that whenever attempting something new. Honestly, I switched to Arch simply because the Wiki was so good.

Yes. The reason I switched to Arch many years ago was to get rid of all that wrappers of wrappers which are used in Debian since long time ago.

Read man pacman and that is the most Arch that can run into your way (not counting systemd, which is not Arch's fault, but the fact they switched to it in 2012 was their decision — so some have switched from Arch as well).
