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.

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.
