Try installing something from homebrew.

Oh you just want to install this one package here? Ok but let’s update 60 other packages first. Don’t worry, it will only take about one minute. Per package.

Bruh have fun on x86_64 since you have to compile them all (at least I had to, I might have broken something)

When I was new to linux and got a raspberry pi 1. I was following some random guide to put retroarch on the pi. I did not know what I was doing, but it took at least 24 hours if not more.

Years later I realized that the guide had me compiling it from source instead of just installing a precompiled package.

Can we get some autoremove love in here?

[-] owenfromcanada@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

That's the sleep command. That is, you type that before going to sleep.

[-] 497a@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 1 year ago

One of the reasons I love pacman. A whole system update within a minute or two (depending on the particular system ofc)

[-] regular_human@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

But for the love of linus, please read the news feed first!

[-] Rin@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Ain't nobody got time for that

[-] alec@wirebase.org 5 points 1 year ago

Do you use Arch perchance?

[-] LurkyTheHatMan@ttrpg.network 13 points 1 year ago

sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y

&& sudo halt -f

It's quittin' time! See ya Monday!

Oops, missed a dash, so now you'll have to come back and finish.

pacman -Syu

Using -Syyu can cause a partial system upgrade if mirrors are out of sync. It leads to higher traffic for mirror owners and it is considered bad practice overall. There are just a few rare cases where it is useful at all.

Forcing anything should always be a conscious decision and never the default.

I’m so lazy I alias “sudo pacman” to “p”

[-] vkirlin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I have "yeet" for "yay -Rcns"

[-] daf@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

It's just yay it will update by default if no parameters are passed.

Is there a big reason to use apt-get instead of just apt? I don't think I've ever used apt-get in years, always using just apt.

[-] jape@infosec.pub 10 points 1 year ago

It's used for scripting. Apt specifically recommends against using it in scripts.

I updated my RPi zero running pi hole today. I had to disable pi hole, and even then it took well past half an hour to update...

[-] czardestructo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

This as my first thought. When running these commands in my pi1 or zero I go get a sandwich and come back an hour later

[-] chandz05@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Damn why so long? My 3b takes a few mins

[-] czardestructo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Pi zero is many times less powerful than the pi3 but still perfectly fine for lots of simple tasks. Just takes forever to update.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 year ago

Where did these Tarintino shots come from? The man has the pointiest chin.

[-] AusatKeyboardPremi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I have the same question. Honestly, it looks AI generated to me.

[-] Skedule@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

What are the chances, I'm currently waiting for apt-get upgrade to finish while browsing Lemmy.

[-] atimholt@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I think everyone should try Gentoo at least once, for the experience. Why download binaries when you can compile everything?

[-] Zucca@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

I've used Gentoo for almost 20 yeas by now. 😋

[-] QuazarOmega@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'm guessing you just got to actually use it now then

[-] TimeSquirrel@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I already completed Linux From Scratch once 20 years ago for shits and giggles. I want to actually use my system, thanks.

rebuild_intelTower_withUpdate() { ./home/scripts/pullrelease.sh nix flake update sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#intelTower --impure --show-trace nix build .#homeConfigurations.bismuth-edp.activationPackage --impure --show-trace activateHM }

[-] demesisx@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

It pulls in flakes from flakes. So, unless I want to travel the whole dependency graph down all of the flakes and put them in my top-level flake, I have to use impure. 😕

[-] neoney@lemmy.neoney.dev 5 points 1 year ago

I personally use a patch on my nix that allows to evaluate a thunk for the inputs, and have every input in a different file. https://github.com/flafydev/combined-manager

[-] demesisx@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

thanks so much for sharing. I'll give it a look.

[-] neoney@lemmy.neoney.dev 4 points 1 year ago

sudo nix flake update && sudo nixos-rebuild switch —flake .

[-] MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This was me the first time I tried using a Raspberry Pi, I'd never experienced an update taking longer than a minute or two before then

[-] DrM@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Do this with a typo in sources.list and uninstall the complete system at once. Happened to me once, happened to me twice. 10/10 will happen again

[-] ben16w@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I feel that Tanintino would benefit from a beard

[-] callmepk@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Until you find you need to upgrade your distro version since it’s too old and important packages no longer update:

[-] curiousaur@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

This is not my beautiful house.
