      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.

      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.
