Is there a way to update Cinnamon and applets via bash/fish? I've been trying to search for an official Cinnamon repo, but all I can find are unofficial ones. Also, do I have to add repos for each specific applet?
Reason: I'm trying to learn to use the bash as much as possible for fun. One objective is to be able to use bash for everything I can already do with the GUI DE.
Edit: Here are the repos I've found:

ppa:embrosyn/cinnamon via https://launchpad.net/~embrosyn/+archiv ... u/cinnamon

Re: How to update Cinnamon and applets from bash/fish?
There's no need to get complicated. Let's say you named the bash file update.sh, this is what it should look like:
After saving it, in your file manager, right-click on it and select Properties then check the box next to Execute. Exit out of Properties.
To execute the script, open a terminal, navigate to the folder where you saved it and enter the following:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
# Usage : sudo ./update.sh
apt update -y
apt upgrade -y
To execute the script, open a terminal, navigate to the folder where you saved it and enter the following:
Code: Select all
sudo ./update.sh

Do yourself a favour: Hands off these PPA's. On Linux Mint you do not need them.fulanitodetal wrote: ⤴Mon Sep 27, 2021 5:01 pm ppa:wasta-linux/cinnamon-4-8 via https://trendoceans.com/how-to-install- ... in-ubuntu/

The first one may or may not be useful on genuine Ubuntu. On Mint it can only do harm.
The second one does not seem to have been updated since 2018.
This is fine. Practising bash commands is fine. But it is unrelated to keeping Cinnamon and its applets up-to-date. So both, bash learning/exercises and real system administration tasks should not be mixed.
For Linux mint users the official Cinnamon repo is the Linux Mint software repository.fulanitodetal wrote: ⤴Mon Sep 27, 2021 5:01 pmI've been trying to search for an official Cinnamon repo
On updating Cinnamon and its applets
Specifically on LM 20.2 Cinnamon, you only need Update Manager in order to keep Cinnamon and its applets up-to-date. Please, read the "What's new" here: LM 20 Cinnamon - New Features
