Dont you mean: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Yea
apt-getis so 2010Nope. I meant paru.
Who even uses apt-get these days?
Yeah
apt-getis so old it officially misses packages thatapt… gets.Legitimately didn’t know this and occasionally type
apt-getjust for a bit of frivolity
have been out of the loop for a while. what am I missing, what should I use in the future?
Meanwhile in Fedora:
Wait what? I have been running silver blue and vanilla fedora recently and I don’t remember this happening. I always run my update script manually every day or so though. When do you see this screen?
When it updatedssystem files it’ll do this when you shut down your computer.
If you never shut it down it never will lol
It updates just like Windows automatically, in Discover. Then it asks to restart and upgrade and it’s just like Windows. I did this just today. Nice UI and UX with Fedora with Plasma.
At least you get the option to disable, I have it disabled, I’ll reboot when I say I will reboot.
What? I’ve never had fedora reboot itself. Sometimes it asks if I want to install updates on reboot or shutdown. But I am always in charge of when that happens.
Be me -
Gets the Ok from IT to switch to a Linux Distro for my work desktop.
Gets the Ok from my direct manager.
Gets the Ok from our contracts manager who used to be in my direct managers position before.
Direct manager reaches out to lead developer, who happens to be a windows fanboy, for the web app we use to ensure “compatibility”, gets told to be careful of what I do and our cybersecurity insurance won’t cover it.
Be me, looking around at all the minuscule pieces of hardware connected to the internet likely running some form of Linux or Unix.
This is so cursed.
- Wrong order
- Dont use apt-get in the terminal
- Reboot
Ain’t nobody got time for two commands.
sudo apt upgrade --updateAre you serious? That’s a thing? I’ve been doing apt update and apt upgrade for years
I’m absolutely serious.
You can also add a package name to install it at the same time as doing the upgrade, though personally I prefer to do that as a separate command so I can see what dependencies are needed.
It also has sudo apt autopurge which does autoremove --purge
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Click Update and Shut Down
Windows: Updates and restarts

Install Windows - does updates as part of the installation process. Get to desktop and check for updates - more updates to install. Reboot and check for updates again - yet more updates.
No it will update and once that is done it will shut down. But the update includes a restart so it will restart and then require you to type your password so it can finish the update, after which it will shut down.
Ain’t nobody got time for apt-get. apt all the way.
Yeah it’s crazy to me that people default to it. For scripts, sure, but apt is so much prettier.
I use apt in scripts and docker files. I don’t even know what apt-get is supposed to do better there?
It has a stable API but realistically I can’t see them changing apt so much it matters.
People are creatures of habit and apt didn’t always exist
I recall somewhere that it makes some kind of difference in scripts
apt-get has a stable API is my understanding.
wdym “a stable api”?
A mythical thing. Humans tell stories of impossible things around campfires and by the light of monitors
The apt(8) commandline is designed as an end-user tool and it may change behavior between versions. While it tries not to break backward compatibility this is not guaranteed either if a change seems beneficial for interactive use.
oh, ok.
but i wouldn’t care. i’d say “fuck it, we ball”
(confirmable by the number of
--noconfirms used inhistory)That’d just the difference between them, I don’t think it’s something to worry about in your personal machine. Maybe if you’re writing a script that thousands of people will use or something.
sudo dnf up
sudo zypper dup
It’s insanity. I had to upgrade my work laptop to windows 11 this week.
IT didn’t do their research and turns out our main software isn’t compatible with windows 11 at all. So i had to downgrade back to windows 10. When i did, photos don’t work and the microsoft store wont open.
Windows is such a horrible system, i have no idea why they made it so poorly. I could have installed any distro of linux and had it working well in less than 20 minutes. Upgrading to windows 11 took almost 2 hours and it still didn’t work.
Now IT has to scramble to find a solution before the 14th and we lose all security updates, which they are very concerned about. What a nightmare to be in IT.
It’s always a nightmare being in IT lol
Nobody ever calls to say, “Hey! Just wanted to let you know that my email is working great, keep up the good work!”
We only hear from people when shit is broken.
Being in a windows shop only makes it 100x more difficult and expensive.
pacman -Syu– noconfirm
–no-preserve-root
do as I say
I’m on Garuda, so I just type
sudo updateI can still type out pacman -Syu, but nice that I don’t have to.
The beauty of Linux is the triviality of creating an alias that runs whatever long or short update command by typing “upd” or “release_the_epstein_files”. E.g., in
~/.bashrc, place:
alias release_the_epstein_files="sudo pacman -Syu --noconfirm"
Nothing like the joy of my system upgrading without a hassle… just need to press the up arrow key until I find the command… I’ll get there eventually
I did this until my coworker got annoyed enough that they told me to start using
history | greplmaooOr ctrl+r and start typing what you’re searching for, and repeat ctrl+r to find the next newest match.
For example,
[C-r] ssh [C-r] [C-r]will auto fill the 3rd most recent ssh command you’ve run. Try it, your life will be filled with rainbows and unicorns.Wait until they tell you about ctrl+r!
fishshell and you can type the first chars of the command and it will show an autocompleate.
Even better:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -ysudo apt --update upgrade -ysudo apt --update upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove -ysudo apt --update --autoremove upgrade -ynote
this doesn’t actually do the same thing as the previous comment running autoremove afterwards does; the former will remove things which were rendered removable by the upgrade while the latter will only remove things which were already autoremovable prior the upgrade.
