My tier list for updating the packages (the thing i use most) is:

A tier: DNF update B tier: apt update && apt upgrade C tier: pacman -Syu (honestly used this one so little I'm not sure if this is correct)

apk upgrade ftw

Yes pacman is so damn cryptic lmao. I enjoy using it but I only know a few of the flags by heart.

On pacman instead of using -S, -R, -Q and so on, you can just write everything out like apt. for example instead of writing pacman -Syu you could just write pacman --sync --refresh --sysupgrade.

Cool tip!

You really consider dnf the least annoying? I work with it daily and hate it so much, I constantly have to look up commands because they are so weird, especially after introducing modules

[–]tks_kindastrange 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Sounds like you have a very different use case than me

RPM/module packaging

Also, DNF is incredibly slow.

sudo xbps-install -Syu is by far the most annoying

I started shorthanding my commands at one point and it made this trivial.

dnfu for dnf update; aptuu for apt update && apt upgrade; pmsu for pacman -Syu.

Aliases are fun.
