then use the ubuntu software center program. theres also synaptic on ubuntu so you have at least two GUI options available on a standard installation. With synaptic you can add packages you downloaded manually and add new repositories vs the ubuntu software center which is more like a shop such as google play. I dont use them because apt-cache search and apt install are faster and not difficult to remember. Canonical has recently brought out a newer package system called snaps, so more options to distribute software on the platform. because a good GUI should not require a tutorial and like i said the CLI is faster and all you need to do is copy/paste the command vs publishing a video or screenshots. Hey if you think there is a market for GUI based tutorials why dont you start a blog or youtube channel?
Here are some suggestions for setting up packages on Ubuntu via the terminal: `sudo` acts like "super user permission." It’s about getting temporary admin rights. `apt` is preferred over `apt-get` because it offers a progress indicator during installation. You can discover all available options by running `apt --help`. To search for a package, use `apt search`—no `sudo` needed. If you’re unsure of a package name or want to explore the repo, type `apt search` followed by keywords separated by spaces. For example, `apt search web browser` returns results like: ~> apt search web browser Sorting... Done. After searching, you can type keywords to refine your results. For installing specific items, `apt` provides a helpful command-line guide. If you need to manage repositories, use `apt search` or `apt list --installed`. To refresh package lists, run `apt update`, and to upgrade, use `apt upgrade`. These steps cover most common tasks with concise commands.
It's great to hear you enjoy Arch Linux, but I lean toward building from the ground up with Emerge (Gentoo's process), or sticking with Gentoo/Funtoo for a more enjoyable experience. I find Gentoo offers better stability even with newer software, while Arch remains the best way to test before committing to a long build.
