Well, I'd be fine with apt-get upgrade... It's what Chrome does, as well.

- bopcrane 10y agoI second this, I'd just appreciate better integration with apt - I'm already using this method to update my linux machines anyways
- simlevesque 10y agoThe problem with this is that if they support apt, where should it stop ? should they support portage, pacman, homebrew, Nix, Guix, yum, dpkg ? I don't think it is Microsoft's job to provide packages for every manager. They should make an executable and then anyone who uses a package manager can package the program. Here's where you can get a community PPA for VSCode: https://github.com/tagplus5/vscode-ppa https://github.com/tagplus5/vscode-ppa
- Thaxll 10y agoAPT and YUM are the standard tbh, the rest is up to the community.
- mixedCase 10y agoThey are no standards. And both DEBs and RPMs are often distro specific. Linux releases should be done source only making it as easy as possible for packagers to compile using libraries present on the system; or using a tool like AppImage and packaging everything yourself.
