am I a Bad Ubuntu User for preferring aptitude to command-line apt tools

· Web · 1 · 2

@LottieVixen It's a menu-driven apt interface; it's interactive rather than command-line so it's a little easier to use if, like me, you don't always remember command-line arguments easily. >_>

@noelle ah okay fair enough

I just use apt search and sudo apt install tbh

@noelle The one with a curses interface? That's what I prefer.

@noelle absolutely not. when I was still using Ubuntu I mostly used synaptic, lol. (though I'm more comfortable with command line pacman for whatever reason)

@noelle Well, I guess so am I. But really, I just prefer gentoo to Ubuntu anyway...

@noelle nah I do the same thing all the time.

They're good for different things.

@noelle trick question, all ubuntu users are bad ubuntu users :thounking:

@noelle (jk, your software choices are valid and aptitude is much better than apt-get anyway)

@noelle
I didn't know aptitude had an interactive mode! Have always used it just as cli.
