pkcon: Update packages.
$ pkcon update
try on your machine
The command "pkcon update" is used to update the software packages installed on a Linux system using PackageKit, which is a software management tool available in certain Linux distributions.
When you execute the "pkcon update" command, PackageKit connects to the software repositories configured on your system to check for any available package updates. If any updates are found, PackageKit prompts you for authentication (usually the root password) and then proceeds to download and install the updates for the installed packages.
In summary, running "pkcon update" helps to keep your Linux system up-to-date by downloading and installing the latest updates for the installed software packages.
