How is it easier and faster than "zypper up". It is one command. This reminds me of the old package manager wars; when, honestly, almost all package managers work pretty much the same way with different dressing. Don't missing dressing for fundamentals.
I am getting used to rpm and zypper but it seems archaic and more difficult to use than apt and dpkg. Even the name "zypper" is not really pleasant.
I don't understand. They are almost 99.44% identical to using either of those tools. One could almost write a search-n-replace command translator.
The problem with command names is that "all the good ones are taken", and that was so a long time ago. I recall that discussion on USENET before we had the commercially available Internet. So we deal with speeeeeling variants and "Foreign words" and names that have nothing to do with the function.
What does "apt" have to do with its function? If I heard the term "apt" I would think "appropriate", which doesn't help. Commands are just strings of characters.
If nomenclature is a reason for using or not using an application or system, then I pity you.
