Debian made me to only love apt and dpkg.
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Omg apt is like the worst UI there is.
Have a look at nala! It needs some depencies but is a huge upgrade
The worst UI?
Clearly you've never used zypper dup
Hahaha zypper is hell. This must have looked cool when internet speed was slow. But its just horrible.
One of the things that keeps me from staying with OpenSUSE.
That, and its overzealous security policy.
Mind to elaborate? That sounds like a good thing.
Ah ah i will one day.
I clearly agree, apt is ugly and even synaptic making it better. But like i said, while ago when I used synaptic I did break my packages and I got to use dpkg and apt, to repair.
Since, I guess, I'm on a PTSD about it and now just use apt or dpkg, when using a Debian or Debian based system.
But I will listen to you, and for sure will give it a try
Nala is an apt wrapper, it just displays stuff better, automates updates and automatically chooses the fastest mirror (thats the stuff I know)
Normally like synaptic no ?
I dont know why a (tui) wrapper should cause stuff apt doesnt. Its likely an apt problem.
Dnf is nice, rpm-ostree not so much.
Nala is the best by far.
Cargo is also nice.
Yeah seriously, I was surprised at how plain and illegible rpm-ostree felt in comparison to dnf, I really wish they put a little color or some extra separation just to make it feel less cramped and give people more glanceable info.
I mean someone can create a PR, would likely be highly appreciated.
