Fedora does this too, it reboots to install updates...
Gnome Software does this with offline upgrades. It's optional. Doing sudo dnf upgrade is the same as sudo apt update && upgrade. No reboot. Obviously you should reboot for kernels and certain hooks but otherwise yeah. You can disable gnome software automatic downloads etc
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.
Itβs always a nightmare being in IT lol
Nobody ever calls to say, βHey! Just wanted to let you know that my email is working great, keep up the good work!β
We only hear from people when shit is broken.
Being in a windows shop only makes it 100x more difficult and expensive.
Dont you mean: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Nope. I meant paru.
Yea apt-get is so 2010
sudo nix-channel --update
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
nvim flake.nix
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#flake
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.
Well, true, one of the slowest packaging systems in Linux world is still faster than Windows Update.
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
It also has sudo apt autopurge which does autoremove --purge

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
The poster would be more convincing if you hadn't inverted apt-get update and apt-get upgrade...

yay
"I use arch ... btw", also btw
For APT enjoyers,
alias yay="sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade"
Also,
alias nay="yay -Rns"
Or yeet if you prefer, for the yay/nay or yay/yeet pair.
Thank you for this, I love it. We use Ubuntu at work and I am quite tempted to covertly add yay as an alias.
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.

dnf upgrade
Enough of these dumb memes already. Do we really so desperately need to boost our self esteem that fucking much? Yes Linux has it's cool benefits over Windows. We fucking know.
I agree. Enough with these simple memes - we need full-on propaganda!
You know what my OS doesn't do? Yeah, exactly. That's the better question now.
PS I love you
