system-update

A system update script for developers, using Ubuntu / Debian / elementaryOS based systems or OpenSUSE based systems.

Usage

# Daily Example - update system packages from apt / zypper / snap / flatpak
./system-update.sh

# Weekly example - broader maintenance and safe disk cleanup
./system-update.sh --full

Features

• Only runs updates for tools that are currently installed.
• Adds conservative APT cleanup on --full with autoremove, autoclean, and clean
• Vacuums systemd journals and forces log rotation on --full when supported
• Removes unused Flatpak runtimes on --full

• Optionally prunes leftover tooling caches

Support for other tools / operating systems are welcome.
