I am on Ubuntu server 24.04.3 LTS
About a year ago I changed my habits to use:
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
but now I see in a post here use of dist-upgrade and I don't know the difference
between them (are there still other variations?).
So what should be used in a regularly used (weekly) update command to keep my
system current? I don't like automatics here, so I run my update script
manually.
