# Linux System Update Script
This script streamlines package updates for both Debian- and Arch-based Linux distributions. With a single command, it updates all system packages. It checks if each package manager is installed on the system before attempting updates and provides options for non-interactive updates and help.
**Supported package managers:** APT, Pacman, Yay, Flatpak, and Snap.
## Script Overview
The script performs the following functions:
1. **APT updates**: Runs sudo and updates and upgrades packages managed by APT if it is installed. Prompts for confirmation unless `-y` option is provided. User will be prompted for sudo password.
2. **pacman updates**: Runs sudo, syncronizes and updates all packages managed by pacman if installed. Prompts for confirmations unless `-y` or `--yes` is provided.
2. **yay updates**: Synchronizes and updates all packages managed by pacman if installed. Prompts for confirmations unless `-y` or `--yes` is provided.
5. **Snap updates**: Runs sudo and checks for Snap updates and prompts for confirmation unless `-y` or `--yes` option is provided.
6. **Flatpak updates**: Checks for updates to Platpak packages if installed. Prompts user for confirmation unless `-y` or `--yes` option is provided.
7. **Reboot Notification**: Notifies if a system restart is required after updates.
