Thank you for briefly describing the difference between "apt dist-upgrade" and "apt upgrade". I was recently encouraged to use "apt dist-upgrade" on a Debian derivative distro as a better practice, but I didn't know why it was a better practice. Jay, love this new series, and the new video intro. You're doing a great job providing content for the Linux community.
Thanks Jay this is just what I was hoping for. The dist-upgrade is just the info I needed as I had run into issues just using upgrade. Used dist-upgrade and everything proceeded without a hiccup! Also, never knew that the capital letter was the default with the Y/n, y/N prompts. And I pre-ordered your book!
Maybe I found a mistake. In the apt documentation, in the upgrade section I read: "New packages will be installed if required to satisfy dependencies, but existing packages will never be removed." Instead in the apt-get documentation, in the upgrade section I read: "under no circumstances are currently installed packages removed, or packages not already installed retrieved and installed." So the apt upgrade command can install new packages, while the apt-get upgrade command doesn't. It seems to me that you used the "apt upgrade" command referring to the documentation of the "apt-get upgrade" command.
Hi! To Update package you must type first of all sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade 2- Admin creation "sudo adduser nameOfTheUser” : to add a user “sudo usermod -aG sudo nemeOfTheUser” : to set the user as an admin,by adding him in sudoers group we use “groups nameOfTheUser” to verify if the user has been added to sudo group now we are going to do the same things with the other users. "cat etc/passwd" : to list all the users “sudo cat /etc/group”: to verify the members of sudo group we have to change the admin password, to not let anyone connect to my instance. To do thatwe change the directory and go to the root. that is with the to commande “sudo su -” & “sudo passwd admin”
Very good video! What about SUSE Linux? SUSE Linux Enterprise Server? I think after RHEL/CentOS/OL/Fedora and Debian/Ubuntu/Mint, SUSE is third server and desktop popular distro.
Great contents as usual! One question (ubuntu): the command apt upgrade don't install all the updates, but only these that don't require another package to be removed or another package to be installed. So, can be said that this command is more "reliable" that the dist-upgrade, due to the fact that updates only the already installed packages in the system? Why in years I've always seen the "upgrade" command and never the "dist-upgrade?
Great one, Jay! Now I am moving from one PC (desktop- KDE neon 20.04) to another one (laptop- fresh installation, also KDE neon 20.04). What's the best way to backup and restore my installed apps from one PC to the other? Any alternatives (CLI, bash scripts, GUI)? Thanx
Learn Linux TV Quick question. The last two times I have done an update (Manjaro) the system process has used 99.8% of resources. I switched off after 5 minutes as I do not need overheating. Is there a command line I could use to limit the updates so as to not use all 24 threads / 32 gig ram and rob me of all processing power whilst updating?
Good video, but I have question. Why at my work machine doesn't work any pocket after upgrade. For example: remmina. I found new repository, added to my machine and it worked. Did I understand linux correctly? after configuration, it is better not to update.
@2:22 "So basically you have an index" (pertaining to the Debian part of the video). What is the name of the file(s) that contains the index? Where is that index located? Thank you for explaining the nuances of the various apt update vs apt dist-upgrade vs apt upgrade.
Regarding `apt dist-upgrade`. Will that override my kernel? I had to re-build kernel earlier to make usb mounting possible in WSL2 and wondering if upgrade will override my config.
Wait, what is the difference between doing all this instead of just clicking on the update manager that's always prompting me on the bottom right of the screen in Linux Mint? 2 clicks, I believe, and all the updates kick in.
Is their a reason why you would not write a script to shorten commands like this? So make (for example) '> upgrade' do '> apt update && apt dist-upgrade'. Also, why not just have these commands run at system start?
since arch is a rolling distro upgrading to new version is easy (just by using -Syyu), but how to upgrade ubuntu from previous LTS version to current LTS/latest version ?
You need to search for articles that have titles like "Upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 to Ubuntu 20.04 ". I did that for a few servers in July and August on the company I was working for. I looked at 4 or 5 different articles, and created my own notes in the end (I had to take extra care of some pip installed pyhton packages).
I have set up a mail server using postfix on RHEL 7. I can send emails to users who are on the local host, but unable to send emails to external users who are on the same domain. Can someone help me plz.
Hi, thank you for creating this content. PLEASE HELP(ANYONE) 1) WHEN OPENING MY TERMINAL, MY HTML looks like this(I just copied that last bit) ........-745-G3:~$ Why is this different from in the video?
Can't emphasise how important these basic tutorials are, to help me understand not just the what but the why ..... great work
Amen to that !! Keep on the excellent work !
Why are accenting in such a strange way? "it doesnt happen very ofTEN? ???
Great job, Jay! I like this new to-the-point series.

Thank you, Jay. This is a great way to demonstrate.
Really high quality videos and tutorials, thanks a lot for your work it´s very much appreciated!
You're very welcome!

sudo apt-get update

2- Admin creation
"sudo adduser nameOfTheUser” : to add a user
“sudo usermod -aG sudo nemeOfTheUser” : to set the user as an admin,by adding him in sudoers group
we use “groups nameOfTheUser” to verify if the user has been added to sudo group
now we are going to do the same things with the other users.
"cat etc/passwd" : to list all the users
“sudo cat /etc/group”: to verify the members of sudo group
we have to change the admin password, to not let anyone connect to my instance. To do thatwe change the directory and go to the root. that is with the to commande “sudo su -” & “sudo passwd admin”
Isn't the `pacman -Syyy` unnecessary when using `pacman -Syu` (or `pacman -Syyu` to force updates for all mirrors)?
Yeah yy is sufficient.
Great video Jay.
for Centos I like to use
dnf update --refresh
Just to make sure I'm currently current :-)
Very good video! What about SUSE Linux? SUSE Linux Enterprise Server? I think after RHEL/CentOS/OL/Fedora and Debian/Ubuntu/Mint, SUSE is third server and desktop popular distro.
Great new series. Thank you so much!
"..CentOS server.." 😂 oh that cracks me up.. 😭
Read it as Rocky Linux.

Great keep the good work nice demonstration

@BestDeveloper oh ok, but he does mention that this method is applicable for linux mint, etc.
thanks for the tutorial
