    Execute order

    Sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt auto remove -y
    

    Needs a more concise order name.......

    cd ~
    nano .bash_aliases
    

    At the end of the file

    alias executeOrder="sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt auto remove -y"
    

    Ctrl+X
    Y
    Enter.

    source .bash_aliases
    

    There. Now it's executeOrder

    Edit : .bash_alias(es?) should be in the home folder. Switch to it with cd ~

    I used to get this with Tumbleweed by the time I’ve finished my previous update.

    I jest of course but I once had to update it after being away for a week and it had like 14 GB of updates. By the time it finished another 450 MB of updates were available.

    Me when I reinstall a game from Steam that I also modded through the Steam Workshop.

    Game installs in 5 minutes. The next hour (or day if it was ARMA 3; all the custom maps are HUGE) is the worshop mods getting downloaded and installed 😭

    Arma3 mods were the reason that I learned steam cli has an insanely low ttl.

    Steam is the only thing I have ever seen hit network speeds that hit the limit of what I pay for from my ISP.

    Your ISP must have a colocated Steam cache.

    Machine learning.

    It's a strix halo machine so I can go big on ram (up to 128gb).

    Currently it's set up for a research project that' coming to an end. In this paper we're using time series climate and satellite imagery data to model the long term climate and ecological impact of plantation agriculture.

    I basically paused updating because the set up was working and I didn't want to have it break on me mid project.

    edit: also used for piss and shit posting

    It that point, you might as well do a clean install, because something will get fucked up.

    Upgrading Gentoos that had not been upgraded for a really long while used to be one of my favourite things to do.

    This feels relevant, I recently did my first apt upgrade because I was a dumbass and should have done npm/npx upgrade.

    So.... The quick trial of a new API/SDK turned into a pant shitting wait to see if I broke my system.

    It all worked out in the end
