sudo apt update/sudo apt upgrade

It is actually very easy to break your install by doing this if you have made a habit of installing random .deb files from around the internet

APT can’t update things that are not in the repository and .deb files typically only work for a specific version of the OS (which is to say, they will probably work when you install them but break when you update).

You should in general never install a .deb file directly. Sometimes it might be necessary in order to install a program that the developer doesn’t support, but that lack of support should be a flashing warning light that the package will probably break something in the future.

There are ways to purge your system of orphaned .deb installs, and I suggest doing that before large upgrades

If you’ve never seen Cabin in the Woods and even slightly like the horror genre, do not read any more about it. That movie is absolutely the best if you just go in completely blind

I hate when an app tells me to take a picture of my driver’s license
