I always just alias up to whatever the upgrade command is on a system. That way I don't have to worry about remembering which package manager I'm using when I'm upgrading. Especially since I constantly flip between arch, fedora, and ubuntu

Theres a program for that https://github.com/topgrade-rs/topgrade which checks every possible program that can update.

Neat, but that seems a bit overkill lol

That's a really good idea. I use some bash script with whatever package managers I'm not using for the particular machine commented out.

You don't even need to comment them out, just || them together.
