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.
53ReplyBruh have fun on x86_64 since you have to compile them all (at least I had to, I might have broken something)
16ReplyI 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.
4ReplyReal 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; }
1ReplyTry Nix instead of Homebrew.

Can we get some autoremove love in here?
25ReplyThat's the sleep command. That is, you type that before going to sleep.
17ReplyOne of the reasons I love pacman. A whole system update within a minute or two (depending on the particular system ofc)
15ReplyBut for the love of linus, please read the news feed first!
12ReplyAin't nobody got time for that

Do you use Arch perchance?

pacman -Syyu
...btw
10Replypacman -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.
17ReplyI’m so lazy I alias “sudo pacman” to “p”
11ReplyI have "yeet" for "yay -Rcns"
9Reply
yay -Syyu
6ReplyIt's just
yay
it will update by default if no parameters are passed. 8Reply 2Reply
Oops, missed a dash, so now you'll have to come back and finish.

Is there a big reason to use
apt-get
instead of justapt
? I don't think I've ever used apt-get in years, always using just apt. 6ReplyIt's used for scripting. Apt specifically recommends against using it in scripts.
10Reply.... wait?
Used for scripting, but not recommended to be used in scripting?

6ReplyI think everyone should try Gentoo at least once, for the experience. Why download binaries when you can compile everything?
5ReplyI've used Gentoo for almost 20 yeas by now. 😋
4ReplyI'm guessing you just got to actually use it now then
3Reply
I already completed Linux From Scratch once 20 years ago for shits and giggles. I want to actually use my system, thanks.

Where did these Tarintino shots come from? The man has the pointiest chin.
5ReplyI have the same question. Honestly, it looks AI generated to me.
4Reply
What are the chances, I'm currently waiting for apt-get upgrade to finish while browsing Lemmy.
5ReplyI 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...
5ReplyThis as my first thought. When running these commands in my pi1 or zero I go get a sandwich and come back an hour later
4ReplyDamn why so long? My 3b takes a few mins
3ReplyPi zero is many times less powerful than the pi3 but still perfectly fine for lots of simple tasks. Just takes forever to update.

4Replyimpure? :(
3ReplyIt pulls in flakes from flakes. So, unless I want to travel the whole dependency graph down all of the flakes and put them in my top-level flake, I have to use impure. 😕
5Reply
sudo nix flake update && sudo nixos-rebuild switch —flake .
4ReplyThis 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
4ReplyDo 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
4ReplyI feel that Tanintino would benefit from a beard
4ReplyUntil you find you need to upgrade your distro version since it’s too old and important packages no longer update:
3ReplyThis is not my beautiful house.
