      what is the difference in dist-upgrade and full-upgrade when it comes to updating a Pi.
      I can ask some obscure question about a Pi, totally unrelated to updating a Pi and I will get multiple hits on Google.
      For example I recently did a Google search on how to format the date and time.
      The question is irrelevant.
      But every answer will start with:

      1. First update your Pi with the following commands.
        sudo apt update
        sudo apt full-upgrade
        OR
        sudo apt dist-upgrade

        @ankonaskiff17 Hi,

        it’s basically the same but not exactly…

        • apt full-upgrade upgrades all packages and removes old versions of the packages
        • apt dist-upgrade upgrades all packages and removes old versions but it tries to figure out which upgrade is more “worthful” if there are occur conflicts cause of the upgrades
        • apt update updates the locally saved list of available packages by downloading the current package list of all configured repositories
        • apt is the new replacement command of apt-get
