Too sweet.

What is sweet?

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y

Takes ages compared to pacman -Syu from Arch. Debian is my second choice but after using Arch for yonks Debian is like a long lost cousin I have not spoken to for ages.

That's cute, but when I google for something about apt-get, I get results
with pacman I get hits on the 80's game and other noise. Unfortunate.

Having been converted from Debian to the Arch religion, I can say this. It was a concern for me, but every problem I've had I've been able to Google and find solutions. Debian is actually surprisingly easy to screw up. Rock solid, but users being the weakest link and all...
