    Off topic… But isn’t apt-get outdated? I thought it was just “apt install”

      If you’re a user interacting with a terminal => apt

      If you’re writing a script or putting it in a docker file/automation => apt-get

      Apt is just a wrapper around apt-get a newer binary than apt-get (I stand corrected after checking my memory against google) and there are warnings that the apt shorthand is not as reliable in scripted scenarios. Its meant for user convenience.

      Apt-get is most certainly not outdated.

        I tried Arch once and they use Pacman for everything.

        It’s like Pacman -sY to install. Makes no sense.

        At least the AUR is cool.

        One day, Linux will have a nice, unified, polished application portal (not store because god forbid we see a LINUX APP STORE).

        For everything else there’s git.

        Git clone Make Pacman -sY lethal company Sudo chmod +x ./home/user/games/lethal_company.x86_64

        “Hold on guys I swear it works, Linux is just better, hold on”

        AUR Proton_EasyAntiCheatHooks Man -k Nvidia-Propietary ./etc/Xserver.conf --display one --mode C1B3 --vsync off Sudo reboot -now

          No seriously though, I aliased the apt command to nala and I use it instead.

          It works nicely with grc for colors in the console and more importantly it supports simultaneous downloads so it runs through a large queue of updates much more quickly.

          This article has a bit more detail on the topic
