Ubuntu OS and most of its derivatives offer two methods for updating: a command-line interface tool (called APT) for those who don’t mind using the terminal, and an app called Software Updater for those who prefer a comfortable desktop experience. Software Updater in fact uses APT in the background, managing it for you so you don’t have to remember any commands.
