We have previously came up with 8 ways to clean up your Ubuntu machine, but 2ClickUpdate manages to reduce all the steps to just a single click. If you are looking for a quick and easy way to update, maintain and clean up your *buntu machine, you have just found it.
By itself, the update manager in Ubuntu has done a really good job in performing regular check with the repository and prompts you when there are update available. What it doesn’t do is to remove junk files and clean up your system. This is where 2ClickUpdate comes in. In addition to the regular system update, 2ClickUpdate also removes junk files, cleans used space and optimizes RAM memory.
The following is what 2ClickUpdate is capable of doing:
- ReApt: Updates your package list.
- SmartApt: Installs the latest updates for your applications and system components.
- AutoremApt: Removes packages that were automatically installed to satisfy dependencies for some package and that are no more needed.
- OrphanApt: Removes packages and configuration files which are not required by any other package upon your system.
- AutocleanApt: Removes all stored archives in your cache for packages that are no longer in the repositories or that have a newer version in the repositories.
- CleanApt: Deleting from cache the downloaded packages to free up some space.
- RamCleanApt: Optimizes RAM memory.
Usage
2ClickUpdate is dead simple to use.
1. Go to the 2ClickUpdate launchpad website and download the deb file (make sure you download the 2ClickUpdate_all.deb and not the 2click-update-core.deb).
2. Double click the deb file to install it in your system. Go to “Applications -> System Tools -> 2ClickUpdate”
That’s it. It will proceed to do everything by itself. No configuration, coding, bash command required.
