    Aren’t you supposed to do apt full-upgrade instead of apt upgrade?

    Also wtf is pkcon for?

    Don’t forget to check needrestart or similar afterwards if you have no idea what has happened.

      When I just want to go to bed and deal with the repercussions of my actions in the morning:

      yay --noconfirm && reboot

    Am I the only one that always has to LOL when I think about how Red Hat tried so hard to push for modules to be a thing with DNF but then they decided to kill it off because nobody wanted to maintain it. lmao

    I’ll keep making Debian users aware that they can do it all in one command since Trixie.

    sudo apt --update --autoremove --with-new-pkgs upgrade

        Yes, it’s a command from apt-get that apt only passes through:

        –auto-remove, --autoremove
        If the command is either install or remove, then this option acts like running the autoremove command, removing unused dependency packages. Configuration Item: APT::Get::AutomaticRemove.

        –with-new-pkgs
        Allow installing new packages when used in conjunction with upgrade. This is useful if the update of an installed package requires new dependencies to be installed. Instead of holding the package back upgrade will upgrade the package and install the new dependencies. Note that upgrade with this option will never remove packages, only allow adding new ones. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Upgrade-Allow-New.

        -U, --update
        Run the update command before the specified command. This is supported for commands installing, removing, or upgrading packages such as install, remove, safe-upgrade, full-upgrade. This can be useful to ensure a command always installs the latest versions, or, in combination with the –snapshot option to make sure the snapshot is present when install is being run.

    There is nothing wrong with using your distro’s app center. Often it will save you extra steps by updating things like Flatpaks as well, if you use them (or Snaps, if you’re an insane person).

      I also like graphical frontends because there I can see screenshots of the software, because there’s a lot of software out there with really bad UI and UX.

      Flatpaks and snaps are two examples of deliverables with terribad integration and low SLSA scores. They should be considered toxic.

        Let’s look at the alternatives:

        • System packages: not viable for the majority of packages because the distro devs don’t have time to manually package everything
        • AppImage: even worse integration (like no desktop shortcuts on install). Developer has to guess what libraries need to be included and which ones are already installed by the user. No sandboxing. Probably worse SLSA scores.
        • AUR: even worse security. No sandboxing. Packages are often compromised by hackers.

        Snaps I agree just because there is no open source snap store and it’s impossible to set up a 3rd party store.

        Flatpaks though? They let install packages with weird / rare / not available requirements on any distro. All open source with a really nice sandbox. I think flatpaks are great.

      Unless you use openSUSE Tumbleweed, right? Then it’s “sudo zypper dup”, from what I’ve heard.

    Yes. At the beginning I preferred distro’s specifically with a graphical software manager. Now i force uninstall it and use terminal for anything.
