Supercharge your software upgrade routine

Conclusion

Relying on Flatpak and Snap applications has never been fun from the get-go; however, you can trust Topgrade to update and upgrade your software, regardless of its initial format. Coupled with high performance and a modern front-end package manager (e.g., Nala), you move from something that works OK out of the box to something slick and modern that, dare I say, might even make updating your systems somewhat fun. With the reality of continuous integration and continuous delivery processes offering never-ending bug fixes and functionalities with never-ending roll-outs, from its numerous projects down to its core software requirements, keeping everything up to the latest and greatest at the versioning level is a daunting task and, furthermore, a short-lived victory most of the time.

At the end of the day, any serious administrator will probably jump joyfully onto the Topgrade ride by entrusting their systems with a Ninite [8] equivalent that allows them to run the latest and the greatest. I hope this article has made you a believer.
