Is there a big reason to use
apt-getinstead of justapt? I don't think I've ever used apt-get in years, always using just apt.It's used for scripting. Apt specifically recommends against using it in scripts.

Used for scripting, but not recommended to be used in scripting?
apt-get is used in scripting.
apt isnt recommended to be used in scripting.
