Update script for script hobbyists

Just a hobby script I use daily (almost):

#!/bin/bash
echo "___________________ Apt uppdates database ___________________________"
apt update && apt list --upgradeable
echo "-----------> Upgrade? y/NO"
read ANSWER
if [ "$ANSWER" = "y" ]; then
apt upgrade -y
else
echo "No upgrades today!"
fi

I used to use another script but since the problems with kernel 6.1.018 and the Nvidia driver, I like to review the upgrades beforehand. Some upgrades are more system critical than others, and some look fishy too. You have to be prepared.
