apt-get is kinda old, "apt" is the new thing. It unifies some commands like apt-get, apt-cache, and probably something else but those are the only 2 I use :D

apt-get / apt-cache is one of those things that I simply cannot get out of my muscle memory. It's probably an alias under the hood by now, but I hope they never get rid of it.

Ofc stuff that is actually deprecated is a different story.

When I see some kind of tutorial or whatever from 2025 by a young dev and he is using ifconfig instead of ip or similar stuff... I am having a hard time holding myself back not telling them ifconfig was deprecated before they were even born :)

On the other hand sometimes when my brain goes full autopilot it still defaults to writing

/etc/init.d/someservice restart

Like sysV wasnt out for a decade by now

I don't understand why downvote something 100% factual and correct. Please explain!
