Synaptic offers a user-friendly option for software installation on Linux
Synaptic, a graphical user interface for the apt package manager, remains relevant in some Linux distributions despite newer software centers. Users can install it on Ubuntu/Debian systems with a simple command. To install software, users search for the desired application, mark it for installation, and apply the changes. Synaptic also allows users to upgrade software and fix broken installations easily. Additional features include locking package versions, purging applications, and viewing app properties and screenshots. Synaptic is noted for its speed and efficiency compared to more modern GUIs.
