Linux Mint (Ubuntu update tip
apt vs apt-get , it seems the two are not created equal, the process has always been apt-get for day to day use. However, today after attempting to update, I noticed an error using apt-get update that was due to google changing from inc to llc for their keys, after a bit of searching, the solution was presented in using sudo apt update as opposed to sudo apt-get update, lesson learned.
side note, still using apt-get personally, but nice to know this update is an option when stuck.
