Update Scripts

The Update Scripts in Linux Tools simplify keeping your Linux system up to date using safe, distro-appropriate commands.

🎯 Purpose

• Automate system updates with safe defaults to avoid breaking dependencies.
• Standardize the update process across multiple Linux distributions.
• Reduce manual intervention while keeping detailed logs.

🖥️ Script Details

File: (WIP) Universal update script

• Planned support for Fedora/RHEL, Ubuntu/Debian, Arch, and openSUSE.
• Automatically detects your package manager and applies the correct update commands.
• Uses safe flags (e.g., --skip-broken, --best, --allowerasing on DNF systems) to prevent breakage.
• Cleans up old package metadata when appropriate.
• Skips already updated packages for efficiency.
• Logs every run to ~/scripts/logs/.
