Updates with Apt verses Apt-get - chatan - 7th May 2017

Sorry if this has been covered, but for Maui, Should I be using apt or apt-get?
i.e.:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
or
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade


I notice I get different results sometimes between the two.    Specifically some kernel stuff gets held back using apt-get, but not when using just apt.

In many places, I see Maui uses apt-get:  examples Read some things in Ubuntu-sphere about it, such as https://www.maketecheasier.com/apt-vs-apt-get-ubuntu/
but wondering what the best practice is for Maui specifically.
(..or should I only be using "Update Manager"?)

Cheers

You can use whatever you prefer. Apt tends to be newer and a bit cleverer than apt-get.
