I use this nearly every day to share videos with people without forcing them to watch it on whatever site I found it. What’s a script/alias that you use a lot? > > > # Download clipboard to tmp with yt-dlp > tmpv() { > cd /tmp/ && yt-dlp "$(wl-paste)" > } >

This is dumb lol but

update = “sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade”

Exchange apt for whatever package manager you use, optionally add “&& flatpak upgrade”. If you really want to live on the edge throw a -y in there as well

Mine is a bit longer and includes automatically removing unused dependencies: alias update=‘sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && flatpak update && sudo apt autoremove --purge && flatpak remove --unused --delete-data && notify-send ‘\’‘update done’\’‘’

I just end mine with “&& exit”
