question please: is there anything similar to the update manager that mint uses but for other distros??
-
i have been using linux mint and i enjoy the automatic updates feature of course!! it makes it easier to update flatpaks and packages! great, but, i also remember i was a user of ubuntu (xfce) and it had the same software but it was kind of weird because it only updated packages i think so.
is there any software or apps that you can download on other distros that do the same thing that linux mint does in regards to updates?? that it updates flatpaks and packages and everything. thank you very much, that would make my system more stable and up to date.
bauh, it has support for Debian and Arch packages (including AUR), Appimages, Flatpaks, Snaps and web apps.

Ubuntu's software updater updates both deb packages and snaps. To my knowledge it doesn't do flatpaks, though, as Ubuntu officially doesn't support them.

Seems cool, but it's unfortunate that the project doesn't seem healthy. Last commit was 5 months ago. Furthermore, its maintainer has even explicitly mentioned that the future of its project is uncertain. At least, we gotta give them credits for being transparent.

You can install a flatpak plugin for the GNOME software center and use that to update everything. It does debs, snaps, firmware and flatpaks for me on my work laptop.

This can easily be solved by bundling all update commands into a single command. I have an alias for this, that updates everything with just a command called
update. There is no need for an extra software. But you have to figure out the commands and options to do this correctly. For my operating system EndeavourOS, I have this:alias update='eos-update --yay ; flatpak update ; flatpak uninstall --unused ; rustup self update ; rustup update'then run it with:
update... which updates the system, the AUR, Flatpak and my Rust environment. You don't need to rely on any third party software to update your system.

That's a shame, I rather like bauh

ubuntu has its own updater too. fedora relies on gnome software and that systemd updater thing. ymmv
