        I an interesting way to see how many packages you have installed and to check for updates in a bar without the next for any script.

        print_packages() {
        Packages=”$(apt list –installed | wc -l || pacaman -Q | wc-l)”

        printf ” Packages: $Packages | ”

        print_upgrades() {
        Upgrades=”$(aptitude search ‘~U’ | wc -l || pacman -Qu)”

        printf ” Upgrades: $Upgrades | ”

          That’s pretty cool, so if you are on an arch based distro it uses pacman, and if debian based, then aptitude…

          I have too many packages, LOL.
