Most often using I am using kiauh to setup a full klipper installation with web frontend on a pi

Klipper
Moonraker
Mainsail/Fluid
Build/Flash
Webcam stuff or else
Each step will kick of an apt update which takes quite some time, especially on older hardware/pis

Describe the solution you'd like

Check when apt cache was last updated before running apt update.
If apt cache is still quite recent (e.g. last update <4h ago), don't run apt update to save some time.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional information
