    Updates in Linux are not random third party scripts you find online, why are you spreading this lie?

    You go into your app store/software centre and click update. To the user, this is all they see.

    If you want to feel like a hacker, or find it quicker, you can open a terminal run sudo dnf update or whatever. That’s still not a random third party script, though.

      Lol you’re arguing like you’re an expert but only providing instructions for… what, fedora and rhel? And saying that running your package manager from the command line is to “feel like a hacker?” What a laugh. Fun fact there’s a range of distros that don’t have proper UIs for their package manager, and the vast majority don’t use dnf.

      What exactly do you think is inside of those packages? Who made those scripts? You’re running those scripts as root. Is that safe?

          Bait…at what? What exactly do you think I want from the person I’m responding to other than to make fun of their delusions? I suppose you’re saying it’s not good bait, which Id agree with.

          Do you know what is in every script you run as root?
