Dont you mean: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Yea apt-get is so 2010
Ain't nobody got time for two commands.
sudo apt upgrade --update
Are you serious? That's a thing? I've been doing apt update and apt upgrade for years
Yes.
Also don't forget && exists for sequential completion of any commands
&& executes the second command, if the command before was successful, || executes the second command if the first one was unsuccessful and ; executes the second command regardless of success.
I didn't know any of this, thank you both :)
These are much more useful than the :(){ :|:& };: operator
Fun fact and disclaimer: this is a fork bomb. i tried it to run it on my phone via termux, thinking android would act up and terminate termux; but nope, my phone froze. Thankfully i hard-reset my phone by holding [VOLUME_DOWN]+[POWER] for ~5 seconds.
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.
sudo zypper ref && sudo zypper dup
Which just sounds ridiculous frankly. Even when you know what it means it still is rediculous.
Fellow OpenSUSE enjoyer right there
pacman -Syu
I'm on Garuda, so I just type
sudo update
I can still type out pacman -Syu, but nice that I don't have to.

Atomic zypper gang!! <3
Non-atomic zypper enjoyers here!!!
topgrade -y
And my work here is done.
sudo pacman -Syu
sudo yay
ssu in config, yay -Syu
You can just use
yay
, since you will be prompted for your password anyway.

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 βcompatibilityβ, gets told to be careful of what I do and our cybersecurity insurance wonβt 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.
It's a fucking web app. Make sure it works for a browser. You suck as a web developer if your shit web app needs to work on a specific OS.
And those are fighting words because I build web apps.
I've started noticing websites just to refuse to work on Linux:
- Xfinity
- Microsoft
- United Airlines
- American Airlines
It's not like some weird script error either. It's straight up a 403 Forbidden on certain routes. Works perfectly fine if I switch to my Windows laptop. It's like it took one look at my user agent string and decided I was a bot.
Not saying you're wrong, but if you're running a VPN it could be that as well. More and more sites are demanding CAPTCHA tests and verification holds or just returning 403 for VPN access no matter what OS you are running.
I cooked up my own VPN and I still get blocked sometimes because it's a data centre IP. For example, Wikipedia blocked the whole /30 range.

My experience, updates usually work fine. Dist upgrades work fine 2/3 of the time.
The support for updating to a new version of a distribution is often still a headache. Some distributions donβt support it at all.
The poster would be more convincing if you hadn't inverted apt-get update and apt-get upgrade...
It accurately got them backwards, the same way I always do. :)
