What I don't like about apt are the tools: What should I use? apt? apt-get? aptitude? In theory it shouldn't matter... But I'm always confused. openSUSE has zypper and nothing else. Fedora has dnf and an alias for yum (for the old folks I guess). Both may not be faster but they are less confusing.

    that's not where I'm confused. You just use apt until it doesn't work for the specific command. The ubuntu "tutorials" sometimes use apt-get , but it's meant to be outdated on current debian.

    the fun part is knowing when to use dpkg

    IMO, only reason to ever use anything but apt at this point is if you want to process the output in a script. Used to be a bit more murky because there were actually a few apt-get commands that weren't available through apt.

    Either way, I learned it this way when I could still be arsed to fuck around with Linux distros for fun, and now I'm kinda stuck with it.
