PLEASE, stop using apt-get. It's depreciated. Use apt instead.

Thank you.

alias apt-get=apt

@fuck2code
Well it is true since 4 years.

I'm sorry, I used it two hours ago.
But I got an excuse! I'm pretty stupid.

@Jilano
No worries m8, I bet OP still uses "ifconfig"

@Linux ip a for life dude

@Linux Haha, thank god I remember reading about this one. A friend got confused why it didn't work on a newly installed distribution :D

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?

Is it *actually* deprecated though? Probably uses the same binaries.

NEVER

@gathurian It's better to get used to something when it gets released instead of when the former tool gets deleted. The sooner, the better (cf. The "IP" command that @Linux was talking about)

@beegC0de
It does not actually

No. They are wrong, they have broken something that works, they should have the piss taken for it.

Am I bad for using apt-get and ifconfig 🙁

Juat 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 Oi i use ifconfig daily.
On my BSD & Cisco devices. :)

Also on my slackware install :p

@Linux wait whats wrong with ifconfig? What else should one use?
Im a windows pleb having linux servers as a hobby xD

Serious question. Deprecated or depreciated?

I 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.

@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

@cuidas "gives beautiful output"

aka it's been taken over by buzzword-spouting hipsters.

@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?

`apt-get`? Bah.

I use `apt-fetch`, `apt-diff`, `apt-pull`, and occasionally `apt-sYu` 😉

Try 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

apt reports it's not stable for autated scripts, how can apt-get be deprecated then?..

@xkill I've told everyone so many times!!!

@gitlog Thanks for the tag. I didn't know till now. Always used apt-get
