    Let’s also not conflate “ease” with historical behavior.

    Taking previous experience out of the equation, it is easier to type apt upgrade and reboot to update your entire system than to click through 300 times in the system and multiple apps with reboots.

    That is a fact.

      You don’t even need the terminal. There is a interface to update if you are using a DE.

        Huh? 3 clicks to update Windows, Adobe, Office, that random text editor, VSCode, Steam, on and on and on…

          1. Open powershell
          2. Type Winget upgrade --all
          3. Hit enter.

          It’s the same as most Linux distros, just different commands / syntax.

            Huh, looks like that would do my list above except the Adobe Suite. A shame that’s not on by default. Good info.

            Cool, if this works like how you are implying, then this is going to make my life a bit easier.
