Why is Windows software advertising always so trashy? It’s giving gas station magazine
Hey kid theres a guy wearing a trench coat in the alleyway selling co-pilot AI software.
He showed me his pp.
Junkie in the gutter groaning: “I can get you some clippy!”
I feel this one has a bit of a gambling site/slot machine thing going on. The green hue kinda reminds me of the tables and the golden light is the glistening money prizes.
And, you know, trusting another piece of software to manage your updates all at once on windows,…now that’s what I call gambling.
Because target audience.
No, I don’t think the audience at Target is much better /s
Winget update --all
winget upgrade --all --include-unknownfor ALL™
Tux’s right eye being occluded by the guy’s black hair, and his left eye being partly shaded into a more angular shape makes it look like he’s giving an evil smirk.
Lol I was gonna comment that too!
The real mvp comes from one of the best website hosts in the world. If you have to be on windows and especially if you’re setting up a fresh install; use www.ninite.com.
It bypasses all the prompts and warnings and opt in\out prompts of a ton of common programs you’d want to install on your PC into one single and quick install. You check mark each of the programs you want from the list (web browsers, anti virus, video players, etc) and it hands you over a single install file to take care of automatically installing them all at once. Best website their is if you’re a windows user. I’ve counted on this gem for well over a decade. I only have one PC left that I keep windows on now, and I’ll be swapping that over to Linux as well by November this year when windows 10 stops getting security updates.
Skip the proprietary ninite and just use a proper package manager, like chocolatey, scoop, or winget.
Ninite relies on a private company to add popularly requested programs, and has an extremely small, often outdated repository of packages.
If you must have a GUI, chocolatey has that as well.
Or, I can just not use a program like chocolatey and just go one and done on ninite. Heaven forbid they only have apps on there to choose from that are popular and people want to install. I’ve never had issues with any of the programs being behind on version, but it isn’t like each program can’t check for newer versions of itself
The great thing about ninite is how you can go there ahead of time and generate a single file, and when you’re done installing you just run that file. I suppose one could generate a batch script that installs stuff with some other package manager (you’d need to include install/update for it first, I remember reading about how Winget can come outdated with a broken version), but the issue with that is simply that ninite definitively exists and works reliably, while I don’t know any such service to generate install scripts.
Chocolatey was literally mentioned, and it can do exactly this
sudo zypper dup
sudo flatpak update
Unfortunately two commands. I COULD make it a shell script so one use of sudo covers both the zypper and flatpak, and auto-accept the nvidia drivers and whatever. But it just doesn’t seem necessary.
PS: Used to be sudo emerge -(some flags) @world. I should go back to that actually. Gentoo was awesome.
If you only use one package manager, you only need to update one package manager :)
I avoid flat and appimages like the plague
There’s a couple packages I use where Flatpak is actually the recommended version. Otherwise I nearly always use the distro package manager.
nded version. Otherwise I nearly always use the
likewise i have an occasional dpkg. or container :) but man do i try
Flatpak , apt , snap, appimages ,dpkg… its not all single click after all…
On bazzite it’s “ujust update”
ujust is a godlike name for a package management utility
It’s not a package manager tho, it’s a script collection utility or whatever
Granted, but the winner in that regard is and forever will be pacman.
To be fair they aliased/made their own recipe file for Universal Blue projects based off
