Chapter 5 – Managing Software Packages

apt

apt-remove <package>
The snap refresh command will update Snap packages installed on your server
Debian and Snap packages
aptitude
A package repository is an online resource that provides packages to Ubuntu systems

A Personal Package Archive (PPA) is like a normal package repository, but typically serves a small purpose rather than being a resource for a large group of packages.
dpkg --get-selections > packages.list
sudo apt autoremove
Snap packages are universal, so they can be installed on any distribution with Snap support. In addition, you can receive newer versions of packages. Finally, they don't conflict with system packages.
