It is a good idea. Imagine you are completely new to Ubuntu and want to install chromium. Youâre gonna search on Google how to do that and you will probably find an old article telling you to use APT. If âsudo apt install chromiumâ did not work it would be very frustrating.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word âLinuxâ in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
