Apt feels like one of the faster package managers. dnf is slow, yum is snail speed, zypper is slow as fuck too. Apt and Pacman is by far on the faster side

Dnf5 is absolutely not slow.

Moreover, apt's output is God awful. How hard is it to put each package on its own line when doing an upgrade? Its commands are also esoteric (Madison?)?

It works and I like Debian but apt is very Meh.
