        Good Idea, why shouldn’t there be something like that? It would also keep the modules from being desynced if your mirrors haven’t updated them all

    Laughs in Kinoite with automatic upgrades on (it’s safe, flatpaks and most distroboxes too). I reboot sometimes and it’s all done in ~20sec.

      It’s safe until someone oopsies the repos and mislabels the i386 packages as x64.

      Ubuntu did this a few months back. I spent hours trying to fix it afterwards. Seems they got it fixed decently quick so it was likely just bad timing on my part.

    What distro are you using? I update on a weekly basis and usually have 10 - 15 updated packages.

        I’ve done some 6k+ package updates fairly regularly with zipper never missing a beat. I know several other package managers that would have shat themselves long before that.

    Does anyone else run updates and watch the screen like you’re some movie hacker?

    Then when it’s finish, you crack your knuckles and go, “It’s about time. 😎” but all you do is open Firefox and look at some boring website for two hours?

      This reminds me the other day I was in my house stressed because I couldn’t install Cyberpunk 2077 on Fedora (I’m new to Linux so I don’t know much and I had been distro hopping).

      My MIL was in the house and she saw my screen filled with open terminals, documentation, lutris, wine, everything you can imagine open because I had no idea how to solve a stupid issue.

      I heard her tell my wife “wow he must be pretty busy, he must be doig something really important and it’s so impressive that he can read code like that I didn’t know he could do that”

      All I wanted to do was to play some damn game bro…

      I didn’t realize there was any other way to update your Linux system

    I literally didn’t update my fedora distro on my laptop for 2 months (because I didn’t have much use of it those last months) and I have 500+ packages to update, and on my PC with an arch-based distro, after 5 days, I have already 100 packages to update

      I haven’t used (or updated) my laptop with Fedora for several months, I might just wipe it and install Nix.

    Damn, how many packages you feeding that thing. Post the neofetch 🤣

    Arch beenn feeling this way over last few weeks with all the kde updates basically adding “5” to end of their name.

      Did I see that right: they added it and then removed it a few days later? Could be the other way round too.

      It’s even worse when you have 60 packages to just hit enter to and then one that defaults to no for a conflict and you have to do it all over again.
