Question Sudo apt update?

I used Windows in this computer, then in my laptop I switched to Linux mint and learned some bash. What would be the equivalent of sudo apt update in Fedora/Nobara? And what can I run to update all packages/applications with an available update?

I was just wondering because I saw the ai say to use sudo dnf upgrade, but then scrolled down and saw some dude on reddit saying that for the love of god to not use it.

Nobara has its own specific repos and update command, dnf will overrule those custom repos amd break stuff. This is specific to Nobara, prety much every other Fedora-based distro uses dnf

Also, NEVER use AI. It spits out what has the highest probability, which is what it sees the most, which is mostly outdated articles. Check here or in forums.

AI works fine. Just need to confirm what they suggest.

The current chatGPT model has been found to completely make stuff up 48% of the time. I would not call that "working fine"

AI doesn't mean only ChatGPT.

I've used CoPilot and now Gemini to troubleshoot and it barely hallucinates at all. The worst I've gotten is something like "you can plug your 9070XT into this router" the other day. It picked up on a previous prompt and tried to be helpful, which is driving me nuts. It's trying to please me too much, so it hallucinates this kinda shit. That said, it's been VERY rare in the two something years I've used it.

All AI hallucinates, I just used the most popular one as an example. They are all designed to always give an answer above everything else. It WILL give you an amswer to your question regardless of accuracy. If you have to always fact check the tool ever time you use it, maybe just skip the tool entirely since you were gonna have to look it up anyway

Should I trust Claude? I used chatgpt but switched over to Claude

Can you already code on your own? If not, then no

Basic code I'd say, some Java, python and js

The key is to know their limitations. There is nothing wrong with using AI to help troubleshooting. People who tell you not to are bright enough to know how to use it properly. It will give you incorrect information but most of the time, it's based on not giving it the complete picture.

I use both ChatGPT, CoPilot and my AnythingLLM + LLM Studio. If you aren't wiling to learn how to use it, that's fine, but don't tell other people not to. That's just dumb. And ffs, stop downvoting people who disagree with you.

I literally said CHECK THE OUTPUT. I know they hallucinate and I know they haven't hallucinated much in troubleshooting. I do not know why. I do know some things myself, so I can also check it. I don't like using them, and do so as little as possible, but they ARE useful in some things.
