Nice aliases! But I'm a fan of topgrade for updating
- Why when a simple alias will do?
  
  Laziness, mostly
  
  I think I have a simple function in my .zshrc file that updates flatpaks and runs dnf or zypper depending on what the system uses. This file is synced between machines as part of my dotfiles sync so I don't have to install anything separate. The interface of most package managers is stable, so I didn't have to touch the function.
  
  This way I don't have to deal with a package that's on a different version in different software repositories (depending on distribution) or manually install and update it.
  
  But that's just me, I tend to keep it as simple as possible for maximum portability. I also avoid having too many abstraction layers.
- Omg yes pls
