Thanks for the feedback. It seems that you are suggesting that there might be a UI/UX difference between software installed via “apt install <software>” and the software installer from the toolbar. I’d like to know a little more about this. Is it mentioned in documentaion?
I notice that in the forum’s linked FAQ https://robin-antix.codeberg.page/antiX-FAQ/antiX23/#_post_installation
there is mention of installing software and updating software.
How do I find which applications to install?
Both antiX-full and antiX-base come with package-installer, which makes it easy to install popular applications. See below for more information.
antiX-full also comes with synaptic so searching for applications is easy.
To search for applications in antiX-net, antiX-core and antiX-base use our tool cli-aptiX or use apt-cache search in a terminal
For example: apt-cache search video player
How do I keep the system up-to-date?antiX is set up using Debian Stable repositories by default. This allows users to keep their system up to date with regular upgrades. antiX recommends using apt update followed by apt dist-upgrade in a root terminal. Users can also keep antiX up to date via Control Centre-→ Software-→ antiX Updater Synaptic is also available for those that prefer a gui tool.
Does this mean that if I use apt to install software, I might not be getting the full-fat, all-modern-conveniences, no-expense-spared antiX experience, over which much blood has been sweated by tireless toilers such as yourself?
P.S. The last sentence quoted probably is meant to have a full-stop between “Updater” and “Synaptic”?
