I utilize Fedora Linux 38 as my primary operating system on my workstation, a choice rooted in my penchant for keeping my software environment up to the minute. For many, particularly those using GNOME, system updates are a breeze thanks to the graphical interface of GNOME Software.

In essence, GNOME Software serves as a user-friendly gateway for installing applications, conducting system updates, and managing both rpm apps and flatpaks. Once updates are complete, a simple prompt to reboot the computer wraps up the process. While this fulfills the needs of an average user, power users often seek additional control and flexibility. Catering to this need, I developed a comprehensive script named Fed2date.

Primarily, the script ensures the presence of requisite utilities, namely rpmconf, flatpak, and *remove-retired-packages (more on them later).

Following this initialization, the script embarks on refreshing all metadata from your associated software repositories, segueing into the execution of a standard system update via sudo dnf -y update.

The script then deploys rpmconf, a utility that scrutinizes all installed packages for potential configuration file conflicts. For each detected conflict, it provides options to either retain your current configuration, adopt the new one bundled with the package, or review the differences between both.

In the interest of maintaining security, the script checks for and installs any available security updates, thereafter executing remove-retired-packages. This utility identifies packages that have been retired or removed across different versions of Fedora, a particularly handy feature when upgrading from one version to another.

To streamline the system further, the script removes obsolete kernels, retaining only the currently used kernel and a backup. This ensures the system is never left kernel-less.

Lastly, the script updates all your flatpak apps. As these apps are sandboxed, a general system update does not affect them.

On completion, the script presents three options: to reboot, poweroff, or exit the terminal. This ensures a smooth transition, depending on the user’s needs.

Fed2date goes beyond simply updating your operating system and applications - it cleans up obsolete packages, refreshes your repositories, and optimizes your system for enhanced performance. However, due to the complexity of the script, I do not recommend to run it everyday. Once every month is more than enough.

Installation

You can always access the latest version of the script on my Codeberg repo:

The meal went without incident although a couple of times she had to avert her gaze from Dan for fear of bursting out laughing. Dan went up to his room saying he wanted to listen to music, he laid on his bed playing with himself waiting for his father to leave. He thought about the events of the last two weeks it had been the craziest time of his life.

He put it all down to Mary Harris, she had been his girlfriend for two years, he liked her a lot, she was pretty and intelligent two things that rarely combined in his experience, the problem was she steadfastly refused to let him put his cock inside her, he had thought he was getting somewhere when he took his cock out that evening in the cinema when she had finally allowed him to get his hand inside her panties, it was the first time she had allowed him to do any more than play with her tits. He had taken her hand and placed it on his erection, initially he had been pleased to hear her sharp intake of breath when she felt the size of him and he was encouraged when she began stroking him.

It was later that the problem started, he had her in the car park, they were kissing, her sweater was pushed up together with her bra and he was sucking on her nipples. He managed to get her laid across the front of one of the cars, his hand up her skirt, trying to pull down her panties. That was when she had stopped him.
