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
  • Step 4 in these instructions: https://mauilinux.org/upgrading-maui-2-x-maui-17-03/  
  • https://forums.mauilinux.org/showthread....0#pid42340
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.
