All Linux Things

Many distros dont offer Synaptic by default and instead have app stores to add and remove applications.
Heres a comparison of three fairly common ones, a must read for anyone who isnt familiar with these.

None of these work very well and my recent experience with Gnome Store in Zorin was frustrating as I typed apps such as Synaptic only to get no search results. Then I looked in the category that involved software managers and founf Synaptic sitting there waiting to be installed.

Synaptic or other package manager needs to be installed by default regardless of whether one of these store apps is included or not.
