I use the following command to update
$ sudo dnf update & flatpak update
Is there a better way to do this. Does anyone have a script or alias thing that does all that with just sudo dufu or something simple ?
I am aware, that all I have to do is hit the up arrow key, and it will type the last used commands. I think all Linux commands in all distros do that. Right ?

Why not just put
alias dufu="sudo dnf update && flatpak update";
into .bashrc? (Note that you want two &s there.)
Then just "dufu" will run that command.

I put all my alias in a file under /etc/profile.d/
... alias s='sudo -s'; alias yu='sudo dnf upgrade --refresh'; ...

I would be wary of using '&' here. Better to do them sequentially rather than concurrently. Use '&&' or ';'.

The up-arrow thing is a convenience of the Bash Shell (and probably most other Shells too). It has nothing to do with other Linux commands or the specific distro.

In bash, Ctrl-r is your friend for reverse searching the history.
pinfo bash will tell you about the bash shell using a simple arrow guided interface.

Yes, that's pretty much standard across all the Shells I think.

Hadn't come across pinfo. I always use info but this a nice alternative.

Thanks for the response, and sorry for the confusion. After I sent it I realized I should have edited out your comment, because my comments were meant for the OP. I know you are experienced, so I wouldn't be giving you tips or advice unless you asked for it. :-) But, glad you got some value out of them.
