Mine is that the useState hook is an actual plague on the entire React ecosystem. Regardless of your opinions of React, if you wanna use something then use it right.

Mine is basic since I'm still a noob programmer, but if you are on an OS with APT or something similar, you should absolutely automate all your commands for updating your software packages by consolidating everything into a single script.
It's easy to create a bash script that runs all your needed commands sequentially, so why not? Hell, I take it a step further with my script by aliasing it to 2 letters since I don't wanna type the full script name or type tab to autocomplete it.
Meh. Instead I set up patchmon and manage it from a pretty GUI on my browser
I just use Linux mint which does all this for me out of the box
Sure, but theirs grows with them. Add backups, bare git check in, etc., etc..
CachyOS and MX Linux both do this out of the box too
Just moved to Cachy. Searched for a way to do unmanned updates once a week. It's not something that CachyOS just supports apparently?
from this thread, its definitely available but due to concerns about Arch's rolling updates potentially bricking something, they don't make it visible in the GUI front and center.
systemctl --user edit --full arch-update.timer...... whoops I misread. here's something that actually applies updates, probably: https://github.com/LoonixTools/cachy-auto-update
My distro doesn't have any OOTB tools AFAIK that does this, which is why I "need" my script and alias. That is one advantage of mint, though. Closest I have is KDE discover, but IDK how it fully works for/with updates.
It's pretty much just a GUI for apt+flathub, way cooler that you wrote your own script though :)
I also like to use an alias to update like the previous comment described. I did it on Mint, and I still do it now on Debian even though it has a graphical update manager too.
I like it better this way, probably for readability when there are multiple updates, and definitely for the verbose progress indications. I do already use the terminal all the time too.
My alias does something like apt update, apt upgrade, flatpak update, and then a commented-out firmware manager update.
