Where my pacman -Syu gang at btw
- yay :)
  
  yay -Syu && reboot && 😉🤞
- They're trying to boot.
  
  I died at this one ngl
- I'm kicking back here after paru -Syu --nocombinedupgrade --noconfirm
  PS: (obligatory) 'Long live yay!'
- paru -Syu --skipreview && flatpak update
- I've got "syu" aliased to the above on Debian etc. boxes. Save me some typing.
- C••••••••
- Whooooo! Pacman -Syyu for extra safety.

-y && sudo apt autoremove

All you sophisticated folks with your dinky commands... I just click restart to update whenever Daddy Gated says so. So much easier...
- Have you ever tried to challenge the system and see what happens if you don't click restart?
  
  Yes, random forced reboot at an extremely inconvenient time and an excruciatingly slow "Windows is installing updates" screen.
  
  The legendary eternal uptime

Is there a reason these commands weren’t at some point combined into one flag?
I can see why you’d want separate “update” and “upgrade” options, but another flag that does both without writing such a long command would be nice.
Maybe I just don’t know enough about apt and such a flag does exist? Maybe they’re just expecting folks to create an alias?
- If you use nala (frontend for apt) when you drop a "nala upgrade" it automatically calls update first
- I can see why you’d want separate “update” and “upgrade” options
  i don't. anyone care to explain?
  
  Maybe for a server - regularly update the package list and compile a list of packages needed to be upgraded. Then send the list to an admin and let them do the update, so that it isn't unattended.
- If you want to install something, do you wish to just update before hand, or to upgrade too ? I guess the former.
  Now you could add update to the install function, but it would mean if you updated 5 mins ago for install something, you would need to update again as you install something else.
  Better to keep them separated and call them as you wish.

Behold:

sudo snap refresh
... yeah... I'll see myself out...
- Please do.
  
  Just kidding...
- I am forced to judge your entire character based solely on your snap use.
- Class, let's all thank 'TeamAssimilation' for showing us what not to do. Now, Brian, I think it's your turn to wipe the drool off of his face, and make sure he hasn't pooped himself again. I'm going to go call his parole officer and tell him that he's in CLEAR violation of his parole.

You could also open the Pop! Shop, have it load, freeze and then upgrade via terminal. They should really fix that shit
- "Maybe I'll look at the Pop Shop to see if there's any cool softw--aaaand it crashed"
- It ain't just Pop my guy! I just hopped from Elementary and about shit myself when I found that Pop uses the same app center. Gues I'll just use apt until I die.
- Haha. Yeah its lagging a lot on startup, but seems like its working fine after 30 sec. Well, Im getting updates almost every day...idk maybe its not working lol

-y

yay
- this is the way

sudo dpkg-reconfigure --priority=low unattended-upgrades
- What does that do?
  
  It enables automatic security updates. You could also enable automatic updates for all, not just security. Basically have the system run the meme commands for you.
- First thing I do on Debian is disabling unattended upgrades. I will need to install some package now and it will always get in the way.
  
  That's odd. If unattended upgrades are running, the system will do upgrades regularly. That means it's unlikely to get a significant backlog of updates queued up. Upgrade cycles typically finish briefly as a result. All my systems, interactive or headless, are running an update and upgrade cycle every hour. I've yet to to run into a case when I couldn't install a package because apt was in use. It's not impossible, but I haven't. Or at least it's been so long ago that I've forgotten about it. I don't have to think about unpatched vulnerabilities. ☺️

Termux gang

dist-upgrade!
- sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt dist-upgrade -y && sudo apt full-upgrade -y

On my work PC:
flatpak update && sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && reboot
On my home PC:
flatpak update && paru && reboot
On my laptop:
flatpak update && sudo dnf update && reboot
- What is paru ?
  
  A command line utility to manage AUR (Arch Linux User Repository) packages. The AUR contains about any imaginable package on Earth, it's one of the greatest features of Arch. If you need some app, someone probably already packaged it in the AUR, so you don't have to handle a manual update.
  AUR helpers allow installing and updating both official Arch packages and AUR packages with a single command.
  Another popular one that I use is yay.
  
  aur helper
  
  https://github.com/Morganamilo/paru
  It's like yay but more modern, written by one of the people who originally worked on yay

sudo dnf update && flatpak update
- Two days later...
- The Silverblue prayer
  sudo rpm-ostree update && flatpak update

- nix flake lock

alias "upgrade"=sudo pacman -Syu && yay -Syu && sudo flatpak upgrade
- more like alias "yolo"

Meanwhile the pacman -Syu sect:

sudo nala upgrade ; flatpak update
Nala is a frontend to apt-get written in Python.
- Flatpak violates Single Source of Truth for installation data, and hides installations.
  
  Are you a Debian packager?

I'll give you one better:
doas emerge --sync && emerge -uDN @world
:)

sudo dnf up
- sudo systemctl enable dnf-automatic-install.timer

sudo zypper refresh && sudo zypper dist-upgrade

me when unattended upgrades

sudo nala upgrade
I like nala, it's a front end for apt
- I feel like I heard of it ages ago, but why is it better?
  
  It's not better but nicer, and easier to see history.
- Nah, because it looks nicer and does a sudo apt update beforehand. But yeah I like short commands a well

schizophrenia

sudo paisios --stamataaa

screw all those, all my homies do topgrade

I just double click to open the Ubuntu Software Updater /s
- It's a single click, Windows user.
