Save yourself some typing: alias pcu="pacman -Syuu"
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.
So much bloat 😩
