There were shadowy conspiracists lurking in the dark alleys of Washington, and hiding from the glaring sun in the High Desert of California, but they were laughably easy prey when the Martian lizard people, the subterranean Vril-empowered mole-men, and the globalist pedophile Commies did show up.

  • It can’t. I use a very simple script to combine updates and the basics of system maintenance:

    #!/usr/bin/env bash
    systemctl --failed -q
    yay -Pw
    sudo pacman -Syu
    flatpak update
    flatpak uninstall --unused
    pacman -Qqnte > ~/.local/share/applications/pkglist.txt
    pacman -Qqdtt > ~/.local/share/applications/optdeplist.txt
    pacman -Qqem > ~/.local/share/applications/foreignpkglist.txt
    pacman -Qtd
    pacman -Qm | grep -v yay-bin
    sudo find /etc -name *.pac*
    yay -Ps | grep Cache
    

  • That’s actually one of the reasons I switched from Debian to Arch.
    Dependency resolution shouldn’t differ based on which front-end you use.
    Debian has dpkg, aptitude, apt-get, apt, synaptic, the Software Center…
    Fedora has rpm, dnf, yum. SUSE adds a couple more. I don’t get it.
    A linux distro should have one package manager, doing different stuff with it should be done via different commands/options inside it.


  • I disagree. According to Debian’s own documentation, apt is a newer front-end for your daily CLI updating and installing needs.
    It has simplified syntax, and combines the most-used functions and options.
    It is not meant for use in scripts, cause the syntax may change between versions.

    The dependency-solver in the back-end is identical.

    tl/dr:
    apt is shorter to type and will have prettier output, starting with Debian 13.
    Use apt-get inside scripts.

    When you do more than necessary, one or more of the following will happen:

    • Your coworkers stop doing their most unpleasant tasks, knowing you’ll pick up the slack.
    • Your more ambitious coworkers start sabotaging you, viewing you as a rival to the next higher position.
    • Your less ambitious coworkers start sabotaging you, cause your effort shines a light on how little they get done.
    • Your boss notices unrest in his team and boots you to restore the peace.

    Free career advice: Do the average team member’s amount of the assigned work.
    If you have the time and motivation to do more, use that to improve your efficiency through automation, self-study, researching methods that reduce friction, etc. If you’re in a job that lend itself to automation, you will at some point be able to spend most of your time for studying.
    Share your new tools with the team to help them.
    When you feel limited by your role, apply somewhere else with your new skills.
