    I would use Debian more if I didn’t have to remember whether to use apt or yum every time I ssh’d into a random server on my network.

      I think this is why some people use Neofetch (and its contemporaries).

      It helps give a quick rundown of server specs, OS, etc to help remind you of the command mindset you need to be operating in when you connect to a new machine remotely - just quickly run your info tool of choice.

        Yeah, or I could put something in the prompt, I’ve considered writing an alias or function so instead of yum or apt I could just run install and let the system run what it must.

        It’s not really a big concern, though. I don’t run that many systems and I reimage them with different distros often enough that it hasn’t been worth addressing for me.

        Thank you for the suggestion though!
