I really don't understand why people want a GUI package manager at all.
The last time I used anything even remotely *close* to a GUI package
manager was dselect, back in the previous century. And that was a curses
(terminal) interface, not an X11 one.
In the last two decades, I haven't used or wanted anything fancier
than apt(-get).
Now, granted, this is just my personal stance. I may be atypical.
That said, what exactly does a GUI package manager offer you, that
you can't get from "apt install thing-i-want"?
.
Like looking at the menu in a fancy restaurant, if you don't have a menu
to read, how that heck are you supposed to know what you want?
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
