Which apps are coming in Ubuntu 20.04
 
I am new to this, just installed Ubuntu on a seprate partition on my Surface Pro-3 (Windows 10) after clearing enough space on the SSD.
Found out in the proccess those many application programs that are included.

But, I have no idea what each one is, there is a name and and icon.

Executing the command line : dpkg --list x* provides a criptic list of names, but not what each one is, not even a short description.

Is there somwhere a more excplicit list?

I looked at "Click here to find Similar threads..." there is nothing there close to my query

Thank you
Alex

alex4buba,

Install Synaptic Package Manager with the following command:

Code:

sudo apt-get install synaptic
Launch Synaptic from Applications and click on Status.

Then search around and look under All and Installed for package descriptions.

Fantastic, will take me some time to go through this large list

Thanks again

The thread title reads like a Black Friday Sale advertisment, a bit misleading IMO.

Anyhow, you're much better off formulating a search query instead of wanting to see ALL programs.
For example:
Code:

apt search video player
Nevertheless, +1 for synaptic.

Or just try starting the apps to see what they are...
