I've been on Linux desktop for well over 23 years now

For the apst 21 years I've used

apt-get install PACKAGE and everything gets downloaded and installed automatically and updated automatically

So hard, much difficult

    If the subset of software available in the Debian package repository includes all the software you ever need, or if you are OK with potentially waiting years to have missing software added, and if you are OK with what are likely outdated versions of that software, then yes, all you need is apt-get install.

    But, personally, I don't think I've had a Linux install that didn't include software installed from other sources
