Updating LXLE
LXLE utilizes automatic security updates and installation by default; doing so in the background during idle time.
All other updates are performed by checking the update manager located in
Easier to understand method.
Menu>System Tools>Update Manager
Preferred update method.
Menu>System Tools>Synaptic
- Click Reload
- Click Mark All Upgrades
- Click Apply
- Mark Additional (if needed)
