Talk:Package Managers

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)
