I started daily driving Linux since I left school this year and used it before but mainly windows because school wanted us to run Word, Teams, etc. Today I wanted to play games and haven’t set up my device for gaming and didn’t want to download the game twice (good internet). Like a good PC user I wanted to do my updates. It really sucks on windows. I had three windows updates to make, one crashed. It rebooted my device 4 times. Also I needed to update other drivers and applications. Now I really appreciate package managers more than ever before.

    I’m on Fedora Silverblue (via uBlue), get the best of both worlds which is quite nice - I run just update in a terminal and it updates the system image (and any rpm-ostree overrides), updates all Flatpaks, and then for all of my Distrobox containers it runs that distro’s package manager update command.

    Never got a chance to use Mint’s update tool, and was only on Nobara for a couple of days, so its been nice to finally be able to experience a nice “all-in-one updater”.
