I run both commands. I didn't know we still used apt-get and used only apt. The update and upgrade were quite different and I used to think they were the same. The apt command went through a lot more stuff. Why is this? aren't they interchangeable? Thanks

https://itsfoss.com/apt-vs-apt-get-difference/ tl;dr apt is a simplified wrapper on apt-get and apt-cache. the end user (humans) won't notice much difference because they would likely only use the same few commands (install, update, ugprade, remove), but apt-get/apt-cache are capable of much more obscure things.
