Methods of updating
There is no need to regularly flash the newest images to your phone because the underlying system is built on pre-existing package managers for maintaining integrity. You can use the GUI applications (usually 'Software' or 'Discover') or because there is always a terminal nearby, these commands will help you stay updated with the latest available programs from your default selected repository.
Mobian and other Debian based OS's
To update all software. The following command will check for updates and install them:
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
If some packages were held back, you can update them with:
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Manjaro, or other Arch based OS's
To begin, download all new package's only
$ sudo pacman -Suuyyw && sync
and do the same without the 'w' to then apply new package's.
$ sudo pacman -Suy
sudo pacman -Suy --cache-dir /path/to/external can be used for a separate download location to improve installation speed, otherwise consider reading https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman#Configuration for further optimization.
If you encounter any errors during the update, you may have to update the Pacman mirrors as follows:
$ sudo pacman-mirrors -f
