Graphical distribution neutral package manager for GNOME

Gnome-package-updater - https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-packagekit/stable/

Quote:

Description: Software package updater for GNOME
GNOME Package Updater allows you to update packages on your system without
rebooting. You can view details about each update and choose which updates
to apply.
The updater utility uses PackageKit for package management abstraction.

To install:

Code:

sudo apt install gnome-package-updater

Package Search - GUI for searching packages and viewing package information

Code:

sudo apt install packagesearch

extrepo - External repository manager

https://salsa.debian.org/extrepo-tea...r/repos/debian

https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages...xtrepo.1p.html

Code:

Description: External repository manager

     External repositories are additional software package repositories that

     are not maintained by Debian. Before extrepo, maintainers of such

     repositories would suggest that you download and execute an (unsigned)

     shell script as root, or that you download and install their (unsigned)

     package, which is not ideal for security.

     The extrepo package tries to remedy this, by providing a curated list

     of external repositories that can be enabled by a simple command,

     allowing unsigned scripts to be replaced by a simple "extrepo enable

     example.com_repo".

     Note, however, that while the repositories are curated, and that any

     repositories with malicious content will be removed and/or disabled

     when detected, no warranty is made by the Debian project as to the

     security or quality of the software in these third-party repositories.
