Also: apt-get is intended as low-level APT interface for scripts, just use apt instead. I get why people are confused nowadays, because APT documentation is terrible.

Ah, that's what they call it now.

I wonder to what they degraded dpkg then?

Isn't dpkg just the program that installs DEB files, without handling dependency resolution?

Yes, apt and apt-* use it.

Also you usually do update before upgrade, not after

I thought apt-get was a transitional command made so that the devs could make a breaking change, but now that that is done, its no longer needed
