PS: (obligatory) 'Long live yay!'

All you sophisticated folks with your dinky commands... I just click restart to update whenever Daddy Gated says so. So much easier...
Have you ever tried to challenge the system and see what happens if you don't click restart?
Yes, random forced reboot at an extremely inconvenient time and an excruciatingly slow "Windows is installing updates" screen.
I've never had that with my work laptop. If I've got programs open that require close prompts, it won't even reboot when it's been idle. Eventually IT will lock it down unless I update though.
No big deal either way. You should be restarting at least weekly with any OS.
Plus, at least with Ubuntu, kernel updates happen much more frequently than Windows updates and require a restart to take effect. The only difference is you can ignore them, which is almost never a good idea.

Uh my laptop has been running for 35 days (according to neofetch) and my server PC (which is just a tower PC I repurposed as a server) has been running for 288 days.

Is there a reason these commands weren’t at some point combined into one flag?
I can see why you’d want separate “update” and “upgrade” options, but another flag that does both without writing such a long command would be nice.
Maybe I just don’t know enough about apt and such a flag does exist? Maybe they’re just expecting folks to create an alias?
If you use nala (frontend for apt) when you drop a "nala upgrade" it automatically calls update first

Behold:
sudo snap refresh
... yeah... I'll see myself out...
Please do.
Just kidding...
I am forced to judge your entire character based solely on your snap use.

You could also open the Pop! Shop, have it load, freeze and then upgrade via terminal. They should really fix that shit

-y
sudo dpkg-reconfigure --priority=low unattended-upgrades
What does that do?
It enables automatic security updates. You could also enable automatic updates for all, not just security. Basically have the system run the meme commands for you.
That's interesting, I didn't know this can be configured in one line. When I searched how to configure unattended-upgrades myself I only found long solutions.

First thing I do on Debian is disabling unattended upgrades. I will need to install some package now and it will always get in the way.
That's odd. If unattended upgrades are running, the system will do upgrades regularly. That means it's unlikely to get a significant backlog of updates queued up. Upgrade cycles typically finish briefly as a result. All my systems, interactive or headless, are running an update and upgrade cycle every hour. I've yet to to run into a case when I couldn't install a package because apt was in use. It's not impossible, but I haven't. Or at least it's been so long ago that I've forgotten about it. I don't have to think about unpatched vulnerabilities. ☺️
On my work PC:
flatpak update && sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && reboot
On my home PC:
flatpak update && paru && reboot
On my laptop:
flatpak update && sudo dnf update && reboot

alias "upgrade"=sudo pacman -Syu && yay -Syu && sudo flatpak upgrade
more like alias "yolo"
Meanwhile the pacman -Syu sect:
I'll give you one better:
doas emerge --sync && emerge -uDN @world
:)
sudo nala upgrade ; flatpak update
Nala is a frontend to apt-get written in Python.
Flatpak violates Single Source of Truth for installation data, and hides installations.
Are you a Debian packager?
sudo dnf upsudo systemctl enable dnf-automatic-install.timer
sudo zypper refresh && sudo zypper dist-upgrade
me when unattended upgrades
