@WinEunuuchs2Unix If it’s an anwer, please post it as one – keeping questions and answers separated is crucial! As you accepted ByteCommander’s answer, it will stay on top anyway. There’s also nothing wrong in (even drastically!) changing a question and adapting it to a good answer. Make it relevant to others.
It‘s totally fine to change an answer significantly if all you do is extending and improving it (rather than change its meaning or delete content) IMHO. I don‘t see why a new answer would be necessary, but please provide the link.
@TheWanderer I don’t think apt-get is any more deprecated than apt itself. @OP I think you got the right idea, often apt is the better alternative for users. However, if the command is presented on the site, most people will copy and paste it anyway – I don’t see the typing as a problem, but I think the more user-friendly output of apt justifies using it. @all As to the differences and uses of both, see apt gives “Unstable CLI Interface” warning.
I doubt it helps, but as it doesn’t do any harm in this case I refrained from editing it out (by adding <!-- language-all: none --> to the post’s top).
