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Off topic… But isn’t apt-get outdated?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

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
Best thing I found for Arch-based is yay.
yay -Syu yay (application name) It just searches repos and AUR in one go. Manages everything like Pacman. I quite like it.
Yay!

Interesting… What other cool facts do you have?
