I bad mouthed this in the general forums, and heard about it.
After using Topgrade for a few days now, I've come to a different conclusion, *but one needs to make sure it is installed properly* as intended.
I've run some hefty updates between openSUSE and Ubuntu Lunar and Arch, Arch hadn't been refreshed for a week or more, so there was a sizable amount of core applications and kernels, flatpaks,firmware, and git included.Code:topgrade -v DEBUG Configuration at /home/me/.config/topgrade.toml DEBUG Loaded configuration: ConfigFile { pre_sudo: None, pre_commands: Some({}), post_commands: None, commands: Some({}), git_repos: None, predefined_git_repos: None, disable: None, ignore_failures: None, remote_topgrades: None, remote_topgrade_path: None, ssh_arguments: None, git_arguments: None, tmux_arguments: None, set_title: None, display_time: None, assume_yes: None, yay_arguments: None, aura_aur_arguments: None, aura_pacman_arguments: None, no_retry: None, run_in_tmux: None, cleanup: None, notify_each_step: None, accept_all_windows_updates: None, skip_notify: None, bashit_branch: None, only: None, composer: Some(Composer { self_update: None }), brew: Some(Brew { greedy_cask: None, autoremove: None }), linux: Some(Linux { yay_arguments: None, aura_aur_arguments: None, aura_pacman_arguments: None, arch_package_manager: None, show_arch_news: None, trizen_arguments: None, pikaur_arguments: None, pamac_arguments: None, dnf_arguments: None, apt_arguments: None, enable_tlmgr: None, redhat_distro_sync: None, rpm_ostree: None, emerge_sync_flags: None, emerge_update_flags: None }), git: Some(Git { max_concurrency: None, arguments: None, repos: None, pull_predefined: None }), windows: Some(Windows { accept_all_updates: None, self_rename: None, open_remotes_in_new_terminal: None, enable_winget: None }), npm: Some(NPM { use_sudo: None }), yarn: None, vim: None, firmware: Some(Firmware { upgrade: None }), vagrant: None, flatpak: Some(Flatpak { use_sudo: None }), distrobox: Some(Distrobox { use_root: None, containers: None }) } DEBUG Detected "/usr/bin/notify-send" as "notify-send" DEBUG Version: 10.2.2 DEBUG OS: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu DEBUG Args { inner: ["topgrade", "-v"] } DEBUG Binary path: Ok("/home/me/.cargo/bin/topgrade") DEBUG Self Update: false DEBUG Detected "/usr/bin/git" as "git" DEBUG Cannot find "doas" DEBUG Detected "/usr/bin/sudo" as "sudo" DEBUG Cannot find "pwsh" DEBUG Cannot find "powershell" DEBUG Step "System update" ―― 09:08:33 - System update ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
For SUSE it was about the same amount of core applications and all others.
I'm not saying to install it, but I find it pretty stable for the three OS's I've used it on heavily.
Downside is that the installing instructions are not all the same for each distro, and there can cause issues when using the Topgrade utility.
Also Please be aware that I don't use or have snapd installed, so I can't really speak on that matter. I wouldn't recommend this for newer users though.
EXAMPLE: Ubuntu Lunar:
I am going to continue using Topgrade for more time to get a real sense of it's compatibility with the Linux distro's mentioned here.

Just my thought here while it is nice to run only one command to keep my systems updated and stable one should monitor all it does vigilantly.
