Does a column for info (show) commands need to be here as well?

IMHO the table is already ways too complex and becomes hard to maintain. I would suggest the following columns:
Distribution (family); GUI Interface; (CLI) Install Command; Install build dependency.
and a general tip to use '{CLI command} --help' for other options.
Reasons
Most normal users will prefer the GUI,
but the CLI command for packages is a common convention
and the 'build dependency' subcommand varies heavily. --Fell (talk) 22:18, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
