APT vs DNF vs Pacman: Which Linux Package Manager Is Best for You?

[@MrAlanCristhian]

This comparison is conceptually wrong. Each package manager comes with a specific distro and is designed to be used in that particular distribution. You can't use pacman on debian, or apt on arch. Also, the package manager doesn't define if a distro is rolling or fixed. This is so wrong a so many levels. You should delete this.

Are you using AI for this script? This video is so wrong in all ways... Please at least check info before posting.

Thank you for saying Ubuntu correctly

[@BadlyDrawnJack]

The voice is most likely AI-generated, not only the script. Of course it would get it correct.

I'm using Pacman for EndeavourOS and it works perfectly🐧

start from debian (2.5 years ) and currently on arch (linda still am learning arch , its same but different

[@davidfrischknecht8261]

On Linux Mint I can pass a local DEB file to "sudo apt install" and it works without a problem.

[@nurphurecarnium]

I was hoping you'd compare the installation speed or something...

nix ftw

[@fossface]

DNF is probably the easiest to use imo.

[@MrSuvvri]

They are all the same just different commands.

[@fossface]

@@MrSuvvri Eh, pacman is a bit convoluted when it comes to handling orphaned packages. But yeah it's easy once you know how.

[@nurphurecarnium]

Easy to use is kinda pointless. There aren't like tens of commands that you need to remember. Also, you can always make aliases. Pacman is better because it's objectively faster. It also gives you more control. For example, in Arch you can install a package without updating the repo (pacman -S) to prevent dependency issues. While in Fedora, it automatically updates the repo every time we install something with the dnf install command, kinda like using pacman -Sy command in Arch which is inadvisable.

[@fossface]

@@nurphurecarnium Well you proved my point. Being easy to use is important for beginners.
