+===== Miscellaneous =====
+==== Suppressing the Service Restart prompt for "apt install" ====
+<code>

+$nrconf{verbosity} = 0;
+$nrconf{restart} = 'a';
+export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
+export APT_LISTCHANGES_FRONTEND=none
+export NEEDRESTART_MODE=a  # default is "i"nteractive; change to "a"utomatic ; see: /etc/needrestart/needrestart.conf
+export NEEDRESTART_SUSPEND=1
+# echo 'libc6 libraries/restart-without-asking boolean true' | debconf-set-selections
+sudo apt-get remove apt-listchanges --assume-yes --force-yes
+sudo apt-get --force-yes -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confold" -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" -fuyq install package-name-here
+</code>
+==== Upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS ====
+<code>
+sudo apt install -y ubuntu-release-upgrader-core
+# Ensure "Prompt=lts" in "/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades" (instead of "Prompt=normal")
+do-release-upgrade  # Pass "-d" to upgrade before officially supported
+# apt dist-upgrade
