You can pry "apt-get" from my cold, dead hands, no moment earlier...
On a serious note: What's wrong with it? I know it's 'deprecated' but it still works, so why not use it? -
No. They are wrong, they have broken something that works, they should have the piss taken for it.

mundo0349117yJuat researched, apt is for n00bs, does the most commons things most uaers do with apt-get amd apt-cache, hence made our life easie.
apt-get still does more advanced things and it is not depreciated. -
@Linux wait whats wrong with ifconfig? What else should one use?
Im a windows pleb having linux servers as a hobby xD -
cuidas1567yI think that's completely wrong. They are made to exist side by side:
"apt is for the terminal and gives beautiful output while apt-getand apt-cache are for scripts and give stable, parseable output."
(https://askubuntu.com/questions/...)
In docker or ansible scripts you still get a warning if you use apt. -
jaerie167y@policyoftruth deprecated. Unless OP meant that apt-get is worth less, it's deprecated. That's the one where you are advised/requested not to use something any longer.
In terms op apt and apt-get, apt Will break your scripts, as output format is not guaranteed and bound to change. Apt-get has standardized output and can be used in scripting -

cuidas1567y@d4ng3r0u5 maybe, but i don't care if it works the way it should :P and maybe this is something good for "old school" projects like debian?

Root797487y`apt-get`? Bah.
I use `apt-fetch`, `apt-diff`, `apt-pull`, and occasionally `apt-sYu` 😉 -
Avyy7507yTry redirecting "apt" output into a file. It says it is unstable and you may use apt-get. Now try the same with apt-get and it would do it fine.
Hmm... -
@Alice Just in case, John Cena pops up from a different terminal and asks you "Are you sure about that"...
You better hit the additional string " -y" lol -
psukys2326yapt reports it's not stable for autated scripts, how can apt-get be deprecated then?..
