  Rpm is really more analogous to dpkg. Does the local work, doesn’t talk to repositories.
  
  Apt to…not yum anymore. checks Dnf.
  
  I’m not sure which one would properly call a “package manager”, the apt/dnf role or the rpm/dpkg role.

    rpm/dpkg is the package format. apt/dnf/zypper is the system that downloads, unarchives, and moves files into place.

      rpm and dpkg are also programs that are used for a number of local operations.

        True. There’s… a lot to unpack with this.
        
        Package Management is weird.

      I felt the same way, but have been finding Ubuntu Core to be a nifty OS for running as a VM.
