Well yeah but my point was really just that it’s a goofy name. Not instead of, more like as opposed to.
P.S. interesting factoid that I didn’t know. Thanks. But with regard to your caveat: did you mean that apt-get predates zypper? Because that’s sufficient.

No, apt-get is the oldest. It was one utility out of a set of utilities. I always found it super dumb that you hat to use a completely different tool to search for a package (apt-cache, I think).
zypper predates apt (which isn’t the same as apt-get)

zypper was released in 2006.
The all in one apt command was introduced by Debian 8 in 2015.
Yeah I find it weird when I see instructions that still reference apt-get.
@AndrewZabar @woelkchen really ? I discard them immediately as they seem super old
