Would be nice if all package managers understood/aliased all common English verbs meaning "remove this package", because I can never remember if it's "remove", "erase", or "uninstall".

@monsieuricon Actually it should be "add" and "del", as Alpine does. Having to type "apt-get install" feels wrong after experience with alpine.

@xexaxo I meant more in terms of dnf / pip / cargo / flatpak (i.e. within the same distro, using packagers aimed at different things).
