I update with:<br>

sudo -s<br>
nala upgrade -y ; snap refresh<br>

They're sluggish, and for .deb updates they trigger unnecessary reboots, plus the changelogs rarely display properly. So I may resume using a terminal for those tasks. I keep hoping they'll improve, since that seems to be what the developers expect us to use.<br></div><div><br></div><div>And because you gave an example... now I will have a look at nala (apt replacement)! </div><div><br></div></div></div>
