Oh yes I understand your spirit and I agree but ....
Years and years as a Mint user and sometimes as a Debian stable user I was working safely with apt-get for the updates .
Here in MAUI I understood that it is better for me (a simple user) to get the updates with the update manager ! I have already read some articles about the differences and the advantages for a non experienced in Linux commands user.
I also use PCLINUX OS , a KDE semi-rolling distro and the normal / official update procedure there requires the exclusive use of synaptic - generally the use of apt-get update / dist-upgrade commands is not the correct way (according to the official instructions) !!!
It is not so peculiar that nowadays things have changed in Linux and the Operating Systems are designed to be attractive , safe and simple for any computer user !
This is the reason I don't use any more the autoremove command , because it belongs to my responsibility !!
But , how responsible may be someone for things he doesn't know well ?
Good night !!
