apt generally downloads more things than apt-get on my Debian machine. apt-get never broke anything, but I tend to eye it suspiciously now.

Yeah alright. That’s one way of looking at it 🙂

I guess what I meant is that I don’t like upgrades that happen without me explicitly requesting each and every one of them, and me watching the upgrade process as it happens for errors.

No Linux system of mine upgrades itself without my explicit consent. That’s one of the many reasons why I don’t run Windows.

The poster would be more convincing if you hadn’t inverted apt-get update and apt-get upgrade…

Hand-made slop is still less depressing than AI-generated slop. It’s godawful but it’s made by a person, and that counts for something these days.
