    Try installing something from homebrew.

    Oh you just want to install this one package here? Ok but let’s update 60 other packages first. Don’t worry, it will only take about one minute. Per package.

      Bruh have fun on x86_64 since you have to compile them all (at least I had to, I might have broken something)

      When I was new to linux and got a raspberry pi 1. I was following some random guide to put retroarch on the pi. I did not know what I was doing, but it took at least 24 hours if not more.

      Years later I realized that the guide had me compiling it from source instead of just installing a precompiled package.

      Real talk I’ve been using this I’ve mashed together:

      update_brew() {
          bold=$(tput bold);
          normal=$(tput sgr0);
          brew --version &&
          echo "${bold} > brew update${normal}" &&
          brew update &&
          echo "${bold} > brew upgrade${normal}" &&
          brew upgrade &&
          echo "${bold} > brew autoremove${normal}" &&
          brew autoremove &&
          echo "${bold} > brew cleanup${normal}" &&
          brew cleanup &&
          echo "${bold} > brew doctor${normal}" &&
          brew doctor;
      }

    One of the reasons I love pacman. A whole system update within a minute or two (depending on the particular system ofc)

        Oh yeah, I actually have a very simple bash script that includes apt upgrade -y (sketchy I know lol). But apt update just updates the sources so doesn’t require the -y as far as I know

    I updated my RPi zero running pi hole today. I had to disable pi hole, and even then it took well past half an hour to update…

    I think everyone should try Gentoo at least once, for the experience. Why download binaries when you can compile everything?

    Do this with a typo in sources.d and uninstall the complete system at once. Happened to me once, happened to me twice. 10/10 will happen again

    This was me the first time I tried using a Raspberry Pi, I’d never experienced an update taking longer than a minute before then

      It’s used for scripting. Apt specifically recommends against using it in scripts.

        … wait?

        Used for scripting, but not recommended to be used in scripting?

          apt-get is used in scripting.

          apt isnt recommended to be used in scripting.
