I am not the most experienced by any means, but wouldn’t it be better to run it with a “;” in the spot off all of the “&” so that way if one of the commands fail it doesn’t stop mid script?

    And even then, don’t you want ||? You want to run the next one only if the previous one failed, right?

    Unless you have a pretty exotic architecture, i.e neither x86 nor ARM, then arguably Docker “should” be “enough”.

    The final fallback should be robodialing some tech support service and provide TeamViewer credentials

    You’re gonna need a -y on apt-get

    “The script accepts the name of a program or package as an argument when you run it. This value is then referenced as “$1” (argument number 1). Everywhere the script says “$1”, it substitutes in the name of the package you gave it. The end result is the name being tried against a large number of software repositories and package managers, and hopefully, at least one of them will be appropriate and the program will be successfully installed.”

    ExplainXKCD’s a great site, more XKCD readers should know about it!

    Nobody asked, but I needed it. Thought that perhaps I’m not alone, so now that I have the answer, might as well share it here.
