    Nala is a great apt frontend. It supports parallel downloads of packages and speeds up the whole process up a lot.

    Not sure which commands irk you as too long. Nala makes a good overview of changes like which package is bumped to what version and where it stands now. So I basically only use

    nala upgrade

    and take it from there. Updates the sources, lists the diff for upgradable packages and ask me to go forward or abort.

    Just the pure act of installing a package is longer than with pacman for example.

    And the way that apt has seperated regular package and -dev packages irks me a lot when I need a library for something I need to make sure to install a =dev package compared to most other package manager where libraries are installed with the lackage itself.
