      Love this. One of those extremely satisfying terminal commands to pointlessly run over and over, so much so that I added it to my crontab so I don’t do that 😭

    Your echo statements should be put into a function so you don’t have \n littered throughout your script.

    Your url var could be improved. Why have it? If you really want it, why not put type=info in the var?

    pacman-contrib has pacdiff and paccache I like to run at the end of my update scripts

    Nice, I have a similar one. Things I also do there:

    • flatpak update
    • tldr -u to update tldr pages
    • Check if reboot needed after kernel update, and display a notification about it
