Try installing something from homebrew.

Oh you just want to install this one package here? Ok but let’s update 60 other packages first. Don’t worry, it will only take about one minute. Per package.

Do this with a typo in sources.list and uninstall the complete system at once. Happened to me once, happened to me twice. 10/10 will happen again

This was me the first time I tried using a Raspberry Pi, I'd never experienced an update taking longer than a minute or two before then

Is there a big reason to use apt-get instead of just apt? I don't think I've ever used apt-get in years, always using just apt.

It's used for scripting. Apt specifically recommends against using it in scripts.

.... wait?

Used for scripting, but not recommended to be used in scripting?
