posts/safely-update-linux-package-managers/

A portable Bash script to update all major package managers on any Linux distribution while ensuring safety. It avoids disruptive upgrades by using commands like apt upgrade instead of dist-upgrade, performs post-update cleanup for certain package managers (e.g., APT, Homebrew, and DNF), and only updates package managers detected on the system to prevent unnecessary operations. It supports APT, DNF, YUM, Pacman, Zypper, APK, Emerge, Nix, Snap, Flatpak, and Homebrew.
