[05:44] <hq-pod[m]> hi just installed and did a reboot trying to add few apps or other software packages but cant seem to find software manager... it is gone.. was there on first set up now not menu drop down selection.... anythoughts?
[05:50] <hq-pod[m]> ?
[10:42] <tomreyn> hq-pod[m]: you didn't say what you installed exactly. based on your presence here, i assume some release of Ubuntu Studio?
[10:45] <tomreyn> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/FindingSoftware
[10:45] <tomreyn> oh wait, that is pretty old and probably outdated
[10:53] <tomreyn> On default Ubuntu, in current releases, the (GNOME based) "snap-store" snap package is (meant to be?) the primary package manager. On (KDE based, just like current Ubuntu Studio) Kubuntu, the primary package manager still seems to be Muon https://userbase.kde.org/Kubuntu/Advanced/en#Software_Management
[10:56] <tomreyn> And then there is https://ubuntustudio.org/ubuntu-studio-installer/ - which enables more apt packages to be installed with apt / Muon Discover.
[11:26] <tomreyn> Hmm, should I be able to install 21.10 like this - password is unset - https://i.imgur.com/2BOuzzP.png
[11:28] <tomreyn> Also, hostname requires 2 characters minimum (Ubuntu  desktop + server installer are fine with just one). and fullname / realname should not be required IMO.
[11:39] <tomreyn> hq-pod[m]: long story short: plasma-discover is the default package manager on ubuntu Studio 21.10 (and probably on 20.04 LTS as well)
