apt upgrade question
-
what is the difference in
dist-upgradeandfull-upgradewhen 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:- First update your Pi with the following commands.
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
OR
sudo apt dist-upgrade
- First update your Pi with the following commands.
