    Aren’t you supposed to do apt full-upgrade instead of apt upgrade?

    Also wtf is pkcon for?

      I don’t get it. Looks like a script that runs all these things, but I don’t get the one dollar.

        The $1 is a positional variable. So if you run ./script.sh arg1 $1 would be arg1 in that example, $0 would be the ./script.sh. It’s the simplest way to pass an argument to a script.

          So… huh? What role does this play, since all the lines in the picture have $1? If you run it with arg1, won’t it run them all? And if you left out arg1 and also didn’t add $1 to each line, wouldn’t it also just run all of them?

            If you run it with arg1, won’t it run them all?

            Yes, that is the intention. When you’re following some guide online and it requires you use some “software”, you may not know how to install that software.

            This install.sh script tries package managers, because one of them will probably work. Others will fail.

            For example, installing numpy (python package): pip install succeeds and all the other ones (hopefully) fail.

            Installing libcurl4-openssl-dev (curl with openssl library file): apt-get install works and all other ones (hopefully) fails.

            Longer and more thorough explanation:

      Never thought about it, but wouldn’t that just fail after the first one it fails to find? I think most install commands return nonzero if nothing is installed

      Should probably use or instead of and

    I’ll keep making Debian users aware that they can do it all in one command since Trixie.

    sudo apt --update --autoremove --with-new-pkgs upgrade

        Yes, it’s a command from apt-get that apt only passes through:

        –auto-remove, --autoremove
        If the command is either install or remove, then this option acts like running the autoremove command, removing unused dependency packages. Configuration Item: APT::Get::AutomaticRemove.

        –with-new-pkgs
        Allow installing new packages when used in conjunction with upgrade. This is useful if the update of an installed package requires new dependencies to be installed. Instead of holding the package back upgrade will upgrade the package and install the new dependencies. Note that upgrade with this option will never remove packages, only allow adding new ones. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Upgrade-Allow-New.

        -U, --update
        Run the update command before the specified command. This is supported for commands installing, removing, or upgrading packages such as install, remove, safe-upgrade, full-upgrade. This can be useful to ensure a command always installs the latest versions, or, in combination with the –snapshot option to make sure the snapshot is present when install is being run.

    There is nothing wrong with using your distro’s app center. Often it will save you extra steps by updating things like Flatpaks as well, if you use them (or Snaps, if you’re an insane person).

      I also like graphical frontends because there I can see screenshots of the software, because there’s a lot of software out there with really bad UI and UX.

      Flatpaks and snaps are two examples of deliverables with terribad integration and low SLSA scores. They should be considered toxic.

        Snaps I agree just because there is no open source snap store and it’s impossible to set up a 3rd party store.

        Flatpaks though? They let install packages with weird / rare / not available requirements on any distro. All open source with a really nice sandbox. I think flatpaks are great.

        Let’s look at the alternatives:

        • System packages: not viable for the majority of packages because the distro devs don’t have time to manually package everything
        • AppImage: even worse integration (like no desktop shortcuts on install). Developer has to guess what libraries need to be included and which ones are already installed by the user. No sandboxing. Probably worse SLSA scores.
        • AUR: even worse security. No sandboxing. Packages are often compromised by hackers.

      Unless you use openSUSE Tumbleweed, right? Then it’s “sudo zypper dup”, from what I’ve heard.
