Description
Neptune is a desktop-oriented GNU/Linux distribution that is primarily built on Debian Stable ('Buster') but features a more recent kernel and additional drivers. It comes equipped with a sleek KDE Plasma Desktop, emphasizing an attractive multimedia ecosystem that enhances productivity. The system is designed for flexibility and is particularly effective when run from USB sticks, prompting the creation of user-friendly applications such as USB Installer and Persistent Creator, which enable users to save changes on their live USB devices. The Debian repository serves as the fundamental source for updates and new software, while Neptune also includes its own software repository to manage updates for its proprietary applications. Aiming to revive the BeOS vision of a fully supported multimedia operating system, Neptune aspires to appeal to a new generation of users. With a strong emphasis on delivering a polished and intuitive out-of-the-box experience, Neptune boasts a visually appealing interface and a comprehensive suite of multimedia tools, including codecs and Flash player, to ensure users have everything they need for media consumption and creation. This holistic approach ensures that both novice and experienced users can seamlessly navigate and utilize the system.
Description
Synaptic is a user-friendly graphical interface for managing packages through the apt system, offering functionalities similar to the apt-get command-line tool but with a more accessible Gtk+ front-end. Users can easily install, uninstall, upgrade, or downgrade both individual and multiple software packages, as well as perform comprehensive system upgrades. The program allows for the management of package repositories through the sources.list file and facilitates searching for packages based on various criteria, including name and description. Additionally, it provides the capability to filter and select packages by their status, section, or customized parameters, while sorting can be done according to name, status, size, or version. Users can explore available online documentation for specific packages and access the latest changelog versions. The tool also includes functionalities to lock packages to their current versions, enforce the installation of particular package versions, and utilize undo/redo features for selection changes. Furthermore, a built-in terminal emulator enhances the package management experience, and for users on Debian/Ubuntu systems, it allows configuration through the debconf system and supports fast searching via Xapian, thanks to contributions from Enrico Zini. Overall, Synaptic is an essential tool for users who prefer a graphical approach to package management while still retaining the powerful capabilities of apt.
