yay -Syu && reboot && 😉🤞
Quick question: Why are all saying that upgrading via -Syu is risky? I use arch for 3 weeks now and I always upgraded via paru -Syu and I never had problems with it.
Fun fact. You don’t have to type the -Syu part with paru; using the command alone is an alias for it already.
They’re trying to boot.
I died at this one ngl
paru -Syu --skipreview && flatpak update
C••••••••
Whooooo! Pacman -Syyu for extra safety.

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.
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.
So you’re telling us your server is unpatched and full of security holes. Cool, man
The legendary eternal uptime
No, your god will not allow it.
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.
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
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.
That’s interesting, I didn’t know this can be configured in one line. When I searched how to configure unattended-upgrades myself I only found long solutions.
I’m sure there are longer solutions as well. This is straight up from the Ubuntu wiki. If you want to configure it differently, e.g. do all updates, not just security, you probably have to change some more vars in the apt config files.
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. ☺️

this is the way

more like alias “yolo”
Lol flatpak
dist-upgrade!
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt dist-upgrade -y && sudo apt full-upgrade -y

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”
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

On my laptop:

Thanks! I never knew there was an alternative to yay
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 isyay
.Thanks!
I’ll give you one better:
