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;
}

Try Nix instead of Homebrew.

But for the love of linus, please read the news feed first!

Do you use Arch perchance?

-yqq, “and don’t say another word until it’s done.”

&& sudo halt -f

It’s quittin’ time! See ya Monday!

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

Automatically agrees to everything. Can be dangerous, use with caution. If you’re able to, I wouldn’t use it.

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

I have the same question. Honestly, it looks AI generated to me.

This as my first thought. When running these commands in my pi1 or zero I go get a sandwich and come back an hour later

Damn why so long? My 3b takes a few mins

I’ve used Gentoo for almost 20 yeas by now. 😋

I already completed Linux From Scratch once 20 years ago for shits and giggles. I want to actually use my system, thanks.
