## Sponsors of the previous development cycle (v24.09)

With version 24.06 of uCareSystem, I added a section to acknowledge the people who supported the development of the previous cycle. This addition was warmly received by the community, and I can't express enough gratitude to those who donated during the previous (v24.09) development cycle:

- P. Loughman (Thanks for your continued support)
- D. Emge (Thanks for your continued support)
- H. Karasoulis
- D. Anastasopoulos

## Description:

In summary, uCareSystem automatically performs the following maintenance processes without the need for user interference. :

- Updates the list of available packages
- Downloads and installs the available updates
- Downloads and installs Snap Package updates (It's skiped if Snap is not installed)
- Removes Old Snap revisions to free up space
- Downloads and installs Flatpak Package updates (It's skiped if Flatpak is not installed)
- Removes unused Flatpak packages to free up space
- Checks if there are older Linux kernels on the system and removes them. However it keeps the current and one previous version of the kernel.
- Cleans the cache of the downloaded packages
- Removes obsolete packages
- Removes orphan packets
- Deletes package configuration files from packages that have been uninstalled by you
- If there is a required reboot, it will inform you with the packeages that requested for a system reboot

## Usage

uCareSystem creates an launcher icon in your Applications menu. Just search your applications manu for `ucare`. When you click it, it performs the default maintenance by automatically launching a terminal.

Alternatively, you can invoke it through terminal with various options/flags. The default system updates and maintenace for Ubuntu / Debian / Linux Mint (and derivatives) :
```
sudo ucaresystem-core
```
If you want to shutdown your system after using the uCareSystem you can use the `-s` option :
```
sudo ucaresystem-core -s
```
When the next available release is availabe for Ubuntu (and official flavors) you can upgrade with `-u`:
```
sudo ucaresystem-core -u
```
If you are a tester, developer, or simply an enthusiast, you can upgrade to the next development cycle of Ubuntu (and official flavors) with `-d` which actually turns your Ubuntu into a rolling release distribution:
```
sudo ucaresystem-core -d
```
If your Ubuntu (and official flavors) has reached the EOL support you can upgrade to the next supported release with `-eol`:
```
sudo ucaresystem-core -eol
```
For information about all the availabe options / flags, start ucaresystem-core with `-h` option :
```
sudo ucaresystem-core -h
```
