Fedora: sudo dnf update Type the letter y Done.

I don't understand why apt still has update and upgrade as two separate things.

Sometimes you just wanna see what’s out there

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 2 points 17 hours ago

You can have a separate refresh/update command and still make the upgrade-command auto-refresh.

(You can also have a --no-refresh flag on the upgrade-command, in case you don't want the refresh for whatever reason.)

You can even add the -y flag to skip typing y. Which apparently doesn't work for pacman judging by the command above

Since lowercase y as an option to uppercase S already exists to update the database, --noconfirm exists to continue without user confirmation.

Pacman has the worst CLI flags I've ever seen.

I’m more of a fan of just adding the -y parameter to skip the question and go straight to updating. Works with the install command too.
