What is Listing Installed Packages?

Linux distributions use different package managers: apt (Debian-based), dnf (Fedora), zypper (OpenSUSE), pacman (Arch). Listing installed packages helps with auditing software and deployment automation. Commands: sudo apt list --installed for apt systems, dnf list installed for dnf systems. Each distribution has its own syntax for this command.
