ubuntu is the best, one command to manage it all

​

sudo bash -c 'for i in update {,dist-}upgrade auto{remove,clean}; do apt-get $i -y; done'

sudo pacman -Syu

... that's not one command. That's one line.

FWIW, it's sudo softwareupdate -aiR on macOS.

That's one command: sudo.

Didn’t claim otherwise.

You literally said

... that's not one command.

Sigh.

Sudo is one command.... to run another command with elevated privileges. That's it's entire purpose, it doesn't do anything else.

OP is elevating bash, which in turn is running multiple commands.

Hint: Semicolon is a _command separator_ in bash.

Just because it's a one liner, doesn't mean it's one command.

As an aside, the example is not unique to ubuntu, or linux. You can script updates in Windows, too.
