Add an auto-update option or update command in the Sofka UI

[memetics19]

Could Sofka provide an update flow directly in the UI?

Ideally, there could be an update or upgrade command to check for and install the latest release, along with an optional auto-update setting. Showing the current and latest versions, release notes, and asking before a restart would make updates easier to manage.

Is there already a way to update from within Sofka, or would this be a useful feature to consider?

Thanks, good idea. We'll add a way to check for upgrades and a notification when a newer release is available, with the current and latest version and a link to the release notes.

Installing will stay with your package manager (brew upgrade sofka, cargo install sofka, Nix, distro packages, winget). Those all track the installed binary, so sofka replacing itself would conflict with them. The notification will show the right upgrade command instead.

Also is there any plans on creating snap or apt package for linux. The reason i'm asking is, I use linux for work purpose and tough to see each and everytime deb package and download and install.
