Sorry about that, CLI -Command Line Interface... The Command Terminal. Sometimes it does certain things better than the GUI applications do. Updates and upgrades are two of those. I have found they are adding and “suggesting” stuff you don’t really need or want in the regular update manager app so you have to pick through and exclude those.

A terminal update and upgrade is quick and easier and will only affect what you already have installed with no extra stuff unless it absolutely needs a new additional dependency for one of the new upgrades. :)

As you know it is the the same old:

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade

But if you have it set to update it’s self then like you say if you need it they should send it. :)
