Text from apt man page. We can use this text on the FAQ.

upgrade (apt-get(8))

upgrade is used to install available upgrades of all packages currently installed on the system from the sources configured via sources.list(5).
New packages will be installed if required to statisfy dependencies, but existing packages will never be removed. If an upgrade for a package
requires the remove of an installed package the upgrade for this package isn't performed.

full-upgrade (apt-get(8))

full-upgrade performs the function of upgrade but will remove currently installed packages if this is needed to upgrade the system as a whole.

better to keep it simple and just tell them to use pkcon
