Yes this seems reasonable :P
Actually I have a question for which is not related to this and not related to the thread.
You oftentimes show me the "$ apt-cache search" which is great, I am beginning to use it regularly.
But do you have a neat way of saying to the terminal that I just want to immediately install all the search results? Say if I want to search for everything name something seomthing "gnu" could I just do "$ sudo apt install *gnu*"?
$ sudo apt install *gnu*
will indeed attempt to install every package with "gnu" in the name. However, don't do it. That will install a huge number of packages, most of which you don't want. It might not even work, as some of those packages may be conflicting. I think the extra step of deciding what you want to install before installing it is worth it.
One way of reducing your amount of typing in a terminal, especially if you are typo prone, is thefuck.

Yeah, you got a point, but what if I just knew that I was going to install all the results of a apt-cache search anyway. Do you know any tricks?
'apt-cache search' searches by both name and description, but if you are only interested packages you would search for by name, 'apt install' should work.
For example, if I know without searching that there are several packages that begin with "evolution-plugins" and I want to install them all, I can do
$ sudo apt install evolution-plugins*
That's the closest thing I can think of to what you're asking for.
