Making the Case for a Modern Synaptic-Style Package Manager on Linux

The Linux desktop has evolved, and it's high time for the “advanced package manager” experience to evolve with it.

It's FOSS (itsfoss.com)

@itsfoss I miss synaptic package manager, way better than snap imho

@itsfoss

Synaptic's great. I still use it, but was disappointed to see it's not available in Fedora.

IMO flatpak is all you need. I've come to the conclusion that immutable systems are the future for consumers.

@metaend Flatpaks are nice tbh. But, don't they have these hundred different dependencies? Like those you see when running flatpak list command?

@kwayk42 yeah
