Don't forget to enable the systemd timer to get notified of available updates automatically and periodically:

systemctl --user enable --now arch-update.timer

Don't forget as well to start the systray applet: 

arch-update --tray --enable

If your desktop environment doesn't support XDG Autostart, you can enable the associated systemd service instead: systemctl --user enable --now arch-update-tray.service
If you're using a standalone window manager or a Wayland compositor, you can add the following command to your configuration file instead: arch-update --tray

Gnome is slow to respond. It's also not possible to move the icon in the system tray to your desired location
