Yeah I find it weird when I see instructions that still reference apt-get.

@AndrewZabar @woelkchen really ? I discard them immediately as they seem super old

That's not really a sensible way to deal with instructions if they're the only ones available for a specific tool. Old does not mean anything.

@AndrewZabar using EndeavourOS, for example, searching how to install the Nvidia drivers, you can find old results such as installing nvidia-dkms.... yay -S nvidia-dkms, that could have been useful 3 years ago but now it breaks the display, you should instead yay -S nvidia-inst && nvidia-inst & everything will work perfectly
