“why won’t the screen turn on?”
Why is the screen black after the login screen for multiple minutes, after which it continues to function as expected and shows the DE like everything is fine??
Or if you’re me,
yay -Syuand wait 4 fucking hours (Because you barely ever remember to do it).I do update my Arch each time it boots. Like a tiny tradition to me.
Just
yaywould sufficeDoing
yay -Syu --noconfirm & shutdownwhenever I turn my machine off has been the solution for meYou turn your machine off???
Once a month or so yes!
I kid. I reboot every couple weeks to save myself a bunch of headaches.
I reboot every time an update triggers mkinitcpio. Otherwise som kernel modules stop working.
Wait but that means your computer will stay on if the update fails, right?

If it was
&&then the second command would only run if the first command was successful.But @vodka@feddit.org wrote only one
&which instead means the first command will run in the background and the second will execute at the same time… which does not seem like a good idea in this case 😅Oh damn, yeah it was supposed to be &&, probably messed it up when arguing with the stupid phone keyboard adding spaces after symbols
It doesn’t deserve the rest if it fails.
…and while it’s running I’ll check my email and post something on lemmy!
I have no artistic skills so freebie: Arch is like Russian roulette where the odds are good but there is still a non-zero chance some update is going to shit the bed. I don’t even know how to convey that in meme form either.
It’s the other way around, but yes, very much yes
Order wrong.
they need to make
apt get upgratethat does both in the right order…You are in luck because you can make this an alias (custom command) in your .bashrc file:
alias update='sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade'
I autorun paru -Syyu while my computer is in the process of booting up /S
As someone who works on Windows daily… this is so true. One of the things that really annoys me with Windows is being able to reliably do updates. Running any of the update stuff, seems more like a suggestion and if Windows deems your request worthy, it might SLOWLY do something.
In Windows it would be
winget upgrade -all
I’m pretty sure.
Which will try to update all 3 apps that are available via winget. It will break one of them. It has 50% chance of bonking some drivers.
More than 3 apps. https://winget.run/
But Window’s software incompatibility doesn’t change anything.
4315 packages
It’s not nothing, and the effort is commendable. Def more than three. Dare I say it’s even more than five.
Yet, in a grand scheme of things, it’s indistinguishable from three.If NT is given as much time as the Linux kernel has had to mature then I’m sure they’ll have more packages built for it over the years.
What does this even mean? Windows as an operating system has existed since 1985, and NT has been around since 1993. Linux initial release was 1991.
Microsoft has had all the time in the world.
Winget update --all
But yes, this updates any packages distributed by Ms store and winget repos. As an IT professional, I love winget.
Winget is a step in the right direction… but man it is SO SLOW. If PowerBI Desktop has an update, it is actually taking me 20+ minutes to update a handful of apps.
I just like that it can be scripted and run during off hours.
My first introduction to winget as a sysadmin was horrible. Why Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, decided to make winget reliant on the user environment still baffles me. Why on earth would they require admin rights for some commands if you need to have logged into the system once?! Even the user created for LAPS does not have that requirement!
Even getting it to run through a service on system level requires you to find the nondescript directory of the executable (which may or may not he the same on other devices!) To get basic functionality going. But even with the --ignore-unknown flag (because it is not able to determine the version of packages when run through a service) winget will refuse to update without a user environment.
Ew
dnf updateapt has the added irk of being split into update/upgrade plus apt-get for scripts.
And the default apt search sucks lol
Then windows says “Undoing Changes” because its shit software doesn’t work
Lol, apt changes your system in place and is pretty likely to break it.
Atomic upgrades are fast and reliable.
But windows updates break FAR less than a messy package based distro does, especially if you actually have package changes (i.e. not a stable distro, or a version upgrade)
boiling water burns me but I still use it to cook
KDE Plasma recommends applying updates at reboot like Windows for stability. In fact, that is how it does them by default
Wait, plasma does your system updates? I don’t think it’s an appropriate chain of commands
Discover is integrated with the rest of Plasma, so if you run your upgrades via Discover on Plasma, it’ll use Plasma settings. The same goes if you update with the little button in Plasma’s taskbar
Petty nitpick on my part, really, but I don’t think of Discover as a part of Plasma.
Good call, very little is “part of” plasma strictly speaking
KDE Plasma does what I tell it to
Sure, what I’m saying is the “windows way” of applying updates isn’t bad and there’s a reason why they do it
Feels aggressive sometimes
And what he’s saying is it’s his life. It’s now or never. No one’s gonna live forever. He just wants to live while he’s alive. It’s. His. Life!
jesse, what the fuck are you talking about
Someone who gets it 🥲
Another low-effort, inaccurate meme. A true comparison would be if you replaced the first screenshot with an image of someone clicking the update button.
I don’t mind criticising Windows but go after the genuine reasons for moving to Linux. No spyware, no AI forced on you etc.
why cant people type anymore?
Not everybody feels like memorizing undiscoverable magic phrases that might not be in a language they speak.
The true comparison is someone getting into work at 7am to work on a project due for a meeting at 10am and two of those hours are waiting for a mandatory Windows update to install.
I think they got rid of the mandatory updates, tho, largely because the updates were breaking the OS…
but anyway, I think the meme might be pointing at the issue of consent.
