Update Upgrade XFCE by terminal or software?

Dear XFCE Forum

( thanks in advance for the patience & support  )

i'm new of Linux World and I'd rather know about update of this d.e.
I have the distribution: Ufficio Zero Linux Minimal with d.e. XFCE
Automatic installation without edit partitions

At 1st time I used in terminal:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

But I want know about uppdates: is there a software for search updates or enable notifications?

Is there a wiki tutorial for learn about XFCE newbie users?

You should be able to install the gnome software center (gnome-software) or synaptic to get a graphical interface to your package manager.

The official Xfce documentation can be found at: https://docs.xfce.org/. There may be other resources around the internet.

Thanks for your reply.

You said: " You should be able to install the gnome software center (gnome-software) or synaptic to get a graphical interface to your package manager. "

But I do not know that I must do, thanks for help!

Re: Update Upgrade XFCE by terminal or software?

The Gnome Software Center will bring in a lot of gnome "stuff". It will work without issue though. Synaptic is a standard for debian based distros. To install either from the command line:

apt update
apt install synaptic

or

apt update
apt install gnome-software

The gnome software center also has plugins for flatpaks, snaps and firmware installs/upgrades.
With debian there is also "unattended upgrades". You can set it up for notifications or just let it happen automatically(I do not recommend this).
