Indeed. The "apt" frontend was added in 2014 and included in a stable release in 2015.

So I don't know what tool other than apt-get could "guides first written before 2015" use.



aptitude. And before that, dselect (which I believe predated APT entirely).


Oh my, I don't miss the dselect days.

OTOH aptitude is, to this day, a joy to use.
