I really like Linux but I just wish I understood how to use it better. I keep having to look up how to do things.
That's literally everything ever that is worth it.
Imagine saying "I really wanna play piano but I just wish I understood how to play it better. I keep having to look up how to do things".

Even better:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -ysudo apt --update upgrade -y
sudo apt --update upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove -y
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

sudo zypper ref && sudo zypper dup
Fellow OpenSUSE enjoyer right there
Which just sounds ridiculous frankly. Even when you know what it means it still is rediculous.

dnf upgrade
Last week my brother had to use my laptop and install Rstudio(for some University project) because his Mac was too old and slow. I was out of home so I had to instruct him through the phone and I could hear his awe while he explained how easy was to install the program. He told me laughing that he could see the pacman and started to cheer for it, this made my day.
unattended-upgrades and cron jobs for everything else ftw.
No Linux system of mine upgrades itself without my explicit consent. That's one of the many reasons why I don't run Windows.
Setting those up is me explicitly giving my consent for it to upgrade on a schedule.
Yeah alright. That's one way of looking at it π
I guess what I meant is that I don't like upgrades that happen without me explicitly requesting each and every one of them, and me watching the upgrade process as it happens for errors.

topgrade -y
And my work here is done.
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.
