@xgqt Nice trick! I just don't think eix --upgrade really does a good job at listing pending upgrades 😓

@xgqt This is very neat! I had no clue I could pipe in fzf. I'm currently on NixOS just because I had an audio issue I couldn't resolve on Gentoo and just wanted working audio. You're making me want to install Gentoo no bare metal again.

@xgqt `pquery --format '{category}/{package}:{slot}' -u` might avoid eix weirdness, similarly would take into account slots. It would be slower of course. Otherwise I'd add -1/--oneshot to avoid adding packages to world. -u on its own might add it to world unless EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS already has it.

@xgqt #Gentoo May I add to your one-liner (with the brilliant fzf; I hadn't heard of that before) that "eix -u" not only produces false positives, but that "emerge -u" for individual packages should really be "emerge -1u". -> https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pietinger/New_at_Gentoo#The_most_common_mistake_beginners_make_with_Gentoo
