Mobian

There is no need to regularly flash the newest images to your phone. You can use the pre-installed program "Software" or because Mobian is based on Debian you can open a terminal and use apt to keep the system updated. 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

If the update included changes related to the bootloader (e.g. a new kernel) run the following command:

 $ sudo u-boot-install-pinephone

Other OSs

Manjaro, or other Arch Linux based OSs

To first download all new package's

$ sudo pacman -Suuyyw

and do the same without the 'w' to apply new package's

$ sudo pacman -Suy

(--cache-dir can be used for a separate download location, otherwise consider reading https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman#Configuration for further optimization)
