Yay
You misspelled
pacman -SyuAnother 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?
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.
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)
“why won’t the screen turn on?”
dnf updateapt has the added irk of being split into update/upgrade plus apt-get for scripts.
And the default apt search sucks lol
Or if you’re me,
yay -Syuand wait 4 fucking hours (Because you barely ever remember to do it).Doing
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 do update my Arch each time it boots. Like a tiny tradition to me.
Just
yaywould suffice
Apt is the wrong example here.
Me: update && upgrade
Apt:
#### 25%Apt: dialogue with kernel news
Apt:
##### 30%Apt: dialogue for reconfiguring abc
Apt: dialogue for reconfiguring xyz
Apt: oh, sorry, some critical config was overwritten (not really, it just does)
Apt:
################# 100%Me: reboot
PC: No Display Manager, no wifi, emergency shell
Honestly, the only troubles I have had beside non-working Nvidia drivers was the dependency-resolver taking forever before aborting due to too many unresolved dependencies. full-resolver takes care of that.
Dialogues? Yes to inform you that some services won’t work until a restart & you are currently using them (e.g. X)
Warning about overwriting config files? Only if you are an advanced enough user to have modified them by hand, and if the update requires a new base configuration.
never happenwd to me
…and while it’s running I’ll check my email and post something on lemmy!
Until Google neglects to update Google Earth and your entire system update gets hung on a no-digest error so you have to either uninstall Google Earth or run a custom update command that skips it every single time. 😩
sudo apt full-upgrade -U -yShould be all you need.
choco upgrade allNot a built-in, of course, but chocolatey gets you Linux-like package manager behavior on Windows. With it you can run headless software installs and automatically update software. It’s great for remote/VM management.
winget upgrade --allI used chocolatey for a while on windows. I did like it, but due to some of the fussiness with it I found it was just better to put up with crappy .exe files
sudo apt upgrade -U -yYou spelled dnf incorrectly
