Ubuntu Maintenance Script

A smart, safe, and fully automated system maintenance script for Ubuntu & Debian systems.

Automatically:

• Uses apt-fast (if available) for lightning-fast updates
• Checks disk space & internet speed
• Updates, upgrades, cleans, and fixes broken packages
• Logs everything with colors and timestamps
• Asks for confirmation before dangerous actions
• Supports quick mode and forced apt fallback

Perfect for servers, desktops, and daily drivers!

Features

• Smart apt-fast auto-install & fallback to apt
• Full colored console + detailed log file
• Disk space warning before proceeding
• Optional internet speed test
• Reboot prompt if kernel was updated
• Clean, modular, and well-documented code
• Zero dependencies beyond standard Ubuntu tools
