AFAIK there is no standard linux command for what you want to do.
For Fedora/Redhat/Centos you can figure it out from the date of the /root/install.log or from the contents of /root/install.log.syslog.

POPULARITY-CONTEST(8) POPULARITY-CONTEST(8)
NAME
popularity-contest - list the most popular Debian packages
SYNOPSIS
popularity-contest
DESCRIPTION
The popularity-contest command gathers information about Debian packages installed on the system, and prints the name of the most recently
used executable program in that package as well as its last-accessed time (atime) and last-attribute-changed time (ctime) to stdout.
When aggregated with the output of popularity-contest from many other systems, this information is valuable because it can be used to
determine which Debian packages are commonly installed, used, or installed and never used. This helps Debian maintainers make decisions
such as which packages should be installed by default on new systems.
The resulting statistic is available from the project home page https://popcon.debian.org/.
Normally, popularity-contest is run from a cron(8) job, /etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest, which automatically submits the results to
Debian package maintainers (only once a week) according to the settings in /etc/popularity-contest.conf and /usr/share/popularity-con-
test/default.conf.
SEE ALSO
The popularity-contest FAQ at /usr/share/doc/popularity-contest/FAQ popcon-largest-unused(8), cron(8)
Additional documentation is in /usr/share/doc/popularity-contest/.
