Any particular reason for switching from apt to apt-get? At least apt has nicer output that shows status.

dragon788 commented 6 years ago

@superm1 One thing to note is in past versions apt output a warning when it doesn't detect an interactive tty something like "apt isn't scripting friendly because the CLI interface isn't stable", but in practical use I've found it seems to multi-thread downloads with nice progress meters and the only thing that will land you in trouble is that apt upgrade is equivalent to apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade so you may end up with a newer kernel than you expected if you aren't careful.

IIRC that's only pretty old versions of apt though. The distributions that adopt a new enough kernel by default to use thunderbolt-software-user-space have modern versions of apt too.
