No. All I do is apt update apt {dist-upgrade|install|remove} So, I don't need a Python front-end to make it simpler.
I do "apt autoremove" fairly often. - saves space - simplifies your load of packages - has, at least once, cut through a dependency hell during a version upgrade Not usually necessary. I think that Ron said that nala does autoremove automatically. One less command to issue ======================== If nala reduces an update to one command from two, it is reducing the number of human interventions during an upgrade. I hate how Windows updates take a number of "give a command; wait minutes or hours for completion" cycles that it requires. On Fedora: DNF UPDATE requires the operator to say "y" after the repos are fetched. Gnome Software has that same delay. But then adds another one for confirming installation after all the packages are fetched. I tend to use DNF since it requires one less response-after-delay from me. Even though the GUI version takes less typing.
