Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    -y && sudo apt autoremove

    [–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    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 1 year ago (2 children)

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

    [–] fluxion 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

    [–] droans 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

    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 1 year ago (1 children)

    sudo nala upgrade ; flatpak update

    Nala is a frontend to apt-get written in Python.

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

    Flatpak violates Single Source of Truth for installation data, and hides installations.

    Are you a Debian packager?

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

    I'll give you one better:

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