God, this is a great start to what I want. I want this to have a baby with Synaptic. This is great for cleaning up though.

You need a GUI-on-GUI thing to make it all work for you?

fossilesque@mander.xyz on 30 Apr 23:40 collapse

I want to see it all in a single database and manage it all in one place in a GUI with multi select.

just_another_person@lemmy.world on 01 May 00:35 collapse

That’s what your package manager is for. I’m unaware of a distro that doesn’t include a GUI for this.

fossilesque@mander.xyz on 01 May 00:44 collapse

It does not include appimages or various other formats that are included in this app. This is an all in one solution.

You’re the author here, right?

If anything, it would be MORE useful for beginners if it included Snaps or Flatpaks.

fossilesque@mander.xyz on 01 May 01:24 collapse

I did not make this. This does include Snaps and Flatpaks and Debs and a lot of other formats. Your general package managers do not.

just_another_person@lemmy.world on 01 May 02:17 collapse

Okay, so what’s your problem with my comment then?

fossilesque@mander.xyz on 01 May 02:28 next collapse

Mate, you are not being clear at all. I’ve clarified this multiple times. If you’re unwilling to acknowledge that out-of-the-box package managers do not generally include non-native package formats, this conversation can’t progress.

Maybe consider why you are being downvoted. Have a good one.

They’re saying they want something like Synaptic (mostly for its “multi-select”, apparently, though I’m not sure what that means?), but have it support AppImages, Flatpaks, Snaps, etc., instead of just Debs like Synaptic does.

Don’t feed the trolls, especially the ones that are bad at it. But yeah, this app doesn’t let you select and uninstall multiple things at the same time nor does it have all the functionality of Synaptic (which is amaze, notably for the search tool). I’d settle on a CLI tool for this too, I just want a one stop shop because I get so triggered having to juggle different managers. It’s just fucking annoying really. Like, I found the cli tool Topgrade and it is just the best thing ever for keeping things up to date from all package managers, I want that with extended functionality as even this tool doesn’t manage every manager that Topgrade does. Something modular, otherwise I waste time fucking around with everything. That’s really the core issue, it’s a pain in the ass not being centralised. If I had more time and unlimited finances I’d fork this and try to extend it myself.

What’s Synaptic? I have once contributed to bauh, so I might include that if it’s a simple feature.

It’s probably not very simple. Bauh is a bit clunky compared to this app. If I was going to work on extending functionality, I’d probably look into forking Synaptic first.

i find this app especially helpful for arch
