I always thought apt and apt-get is the same thing so why type more when you can less?

But then again, I'm a linux noob that only uses distros like Ubuntu.

I also like the software center thing in Ubuntu because of GUI and... um... why do I see a bunch of people with pitchforks?

apt is a newer tool that combines the functionality of apt-get and apt-cache. It’s not as backwards compatible but has a nicer more human readable output

apt is a wrapper of a wrapper for dpkg.

That's like dnf is a wrapper for yum which is a wrapper for rpm.
