      Omg apt is like the worst UI there is.

      Have a look at nala! It needs some depencies but is a huge upgrade

                It would be a good thing if you want to have stuff inaccessible by your users. Reasonable assumptions when you’re the IT department with the company workstations. Not so reasonable when you just want to have a working PC for yourself (and probably your family).

                The other day, I gave up on my Tumbleweed system when an update for some reason rendered my living room PC unable to connect to internet.

                Maybe it was done in a good reason. Maybe it’s supposed to give me some protection of some sort. Would I need that protection? Definitely not if it keeps me (and other family members) to watch youtube.

                If anyone wants to attack me thru that thing, I’d say go for it. I got nothing but my Netflix & Spotify creds. They can try infecting my media library, which I can just wipe since I got multiple copies of it.

                Right now, I got Debian running on all my systems. I get to configure each of them to be as secure as it needs to be without having my operations hindered.

        Ah ah i will one day.

        I clearly agree, apt is ugly and even synaptic making it better. But like i said, while ago when I used synaptic I did break my packages and I got to use dpkg and apt, to repair.

        Since, I guess, I’m on a PTSD about it and now just use apt or dpkg, when using a Debian or Debian based system.

        But I will listen to you, and for sure will give it a try

          Nala is an apt wrapper, it just displays stuff better, automates updates and automatically chooses the fastest mirror (thats the stuff I know)

        apt is easy to use and read. I haven’t dreamed of searching for a shiny replacement because there’s no problem to solve.
