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)
I installed Mono on my M1 MBP last year and it took like four hours to compile 💀
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; }Try Nix instead of Homebrew.
One of the reasons I love pacman. A whole system update within a minute or two (depending on the particular system ofc)
Do you use Arch perchance?
pacman -Syyu
…btw
pacman -Syu
Using -Syyu can cause a partial system upgrade if mirrors are out of sync. It leads to higher traffic for mirror owners and it is considered bad practice overall. There are just a few rare cases where it is useful at all.
Forcing anything should always be a conscious decision and never the default.
I’m so lazy I alias “sudo pacman” to “p”
yay -Syyu
Oops, missed a dash, so now you’ll have to come back and finish.
sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y&& sudo halt -fIt’s quittin’ time! See ya Monday!
Do this with a typo in sources.list and uninstall the complete system at once. Happened to me once, happened to me twice. 10/10 will happen again
Is there a big reason to use
apt-getinstead of justapt? I don’t think I’ve ever used apt-get in years, always using just apt.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.
“Knock it off Julian, I know how good my coffee is, I’m the one who buys it. When Bonnie goes shopping, she buys shit. I buy the more expensive coffee because when I drink it, I want to taste it. But you know what’s on my mind right now? It ain’t the coffee in my kitchen…”
What are the chances, I’m currently waiting for apt-get upgrade to finish while browsing Lemmy.
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…
sudo nix flake update && sudo nixos-rebuild switch —flake .
This was me the first time I tried using a Raspberry Pi, I’d never experienced an update taking longer than a minute or two before then
This is not my beautiful house.
