The key here IMO is that you decide both when and how.
No such option with Windows, but if you like the GUI and are used to using that, I don’t see why anyone of their right mind would have a problem with that.
Personally I prefer to open a terminal and press the up key so I don’t have to type the command again, it takes 30 times until I get to the correct command, so it’s clearly slower, but hey we all have our little quirks.
Oh thanks for this. I’ve been using history | grep $something for the longest time, but i always end up copy pasting the actual command cause i didn’t remember how to invoke the number, and copy pasting is so quick that you end up never looking up how to do it properly lol.
I’m not saying that’s a bad thing. I’m saying ‘one of us’.
The importamt difference between apt and windows update is not how pretty it is. You still update at your leisure in like three clicks, more if you want to be fiddly. You can choose to jot update this or that. If your connection is slow it will keep going while you go about your business and if you need to restart to finish anything it will tell you, rather than interrupting you with an implied ‘but if you don’t save every ten seconds you deserved this. Computer will be ready when its ready.’
I like a GUI updater but the Plasma Discover one is so shit, it errors almost every time. I keep it for updating the odd flatpak, etc, but I always have to update from the terminal first.
Don’t hate, but I actually like the GUI update manager in Mint. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That just runs apt and prints it nicely to you
That is exactly the sort of behavior every gui should do.
Oh, I’m well aware. It’s just that sometimes I like a cushion on my chair, you know?
It’s so simple but it’s huge for normies.
Exactly what I expect it to do!
Well, many of these softwares can’t do that properly, so…
I notice mine has updates outside of apt, but I’ve wondered if some are just duplicates that haven’t refreshed yet.
It does also update Cinnamon add-ons (spices I think?) and Flatpaks, which apt doesn’t handle

history | grep <something I vaguely remember >
!<number of that command>
You can do reverse search but I’m too lazy to remember the sequence right now
ctrl R then type
Never tried history | grep though. Thanks for the tip!

Though i don’t know if that actually works while using a variable.
Just use FZF (fuzzy search finder) with the CTRL+R keybind.
I got a new function for my bash aliases file lol
CTRL + R for history search
Its all the same under the hood.
As a long time windows user who has switched to CachyOS, I agree, even get notifications about updates
That’s a front end on apt. You’re just making it pretty.
Permit me to repeat what I said to a similar reply:

Why anyone will hate that?
Shelly is amazing for Arch. Both CLI and GUI.
And I love the pacman eating the progress bar on arch terminal.
same for me
