All you sophisticated folks with your dinky commands... I just click restart to update whenever Daddy Gated says so. So much easier...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Have you ever tried to challenge the system and see what happens if you don't click restart?

[–] fluxion 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yes, random forced reboot at an extremely inconvenient time and an excruciatingly slow "Windows is installing updates" screen.

[–] droans 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I've never had that with my work laptop. If I've got programs open that require close prompts, it won't even reboot when it's been idle. Eventually IT will lock it down unless I update though.

No big deal either way. You should be restarting at least weekly with any OS.

Plus, at least with Ubuntu, kernel updates happen much more frequently than Windows updates and require a restart to take effect. The only difference is you can ignore them, which is almost never a good idea.

Uh my laptop has been running for 35 days (according to neofetch) and my server PC (which is just a tower PC I repurposed as a server) has been running for 288 days.

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?

[–] Magister 9 points 11 months ago

If you use nala (frontend for apt) when you drop a "nala upgrade" it automatically calls update first

Behold:

sudo snap refresh

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

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.

Meanwhile the pacman -Syu sect:

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Are you a Debian packager?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

I'll give you one better:

doas emerge --sync && emerge -uDN @world
