Fedy is a program that has tweaks and programs that are otherwise proprietary, and you can install them with one click.

    Looks like the Software-Boutique, comes default with Ubuntu-MATE, but can be installed & run from any *Ubuntu. If the selected software requires a PPA be added, the Boutique adds it for you. (https://snapcraft.io/software-boutique though I've only used the non-snap version) It doesn't list every piece of software, trying to limit itself to the 'best' (or top-of-class) for each category. – guiverc Jul 22 '18 at 06:45

    The ubuntu-restricted-extras duplicate link answers the first screenshot but it doesn't answer the other two screenshots. – karel Jul 22 '18 at 11:47

Try the Software-Boutique, which comes default with Ubuntu-MATE, but can be installed & run from any *Ubuntu. enter image description here If the selected software requires a PPA be added, the Boutique adds it for you.

It doesn't list every piece of software, trying to limit itself to the 'best' (or top-of-class) for each category.

To install (snap) on my 18.04 laptop, I needed to use

sudo snap install ubuntu-mate-welcome --classic
sudo snap install software-boutique  --classic

and it was run with ubuntu-mate-welcome --boutique

but I suggest giving the snap version a miss if using a limited resource machine, it was painful on this dual core machine with only 2gb ram, I've had no issues using non-snap version

  • Please note: As of 19.10 there are issues with running Software Boutique on other flavors of Ubuntu. It comes only as a *classic* snap, and b/c there are problems with detecting dependencies in *classic* snaps, the fix currently is to refuse to run in other flavors. Please refer to https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/ubuntu-19-10-software-boutique-fail-to-run/20453/2 (*which has two work-arounds though possibly not ideal*). – guiverc Oct 23 '19 at 01:49

    https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mate-dev/+archive/ubuntu/welcome provides easiest access to software boutique up to current *hirsute* (tested with Lubuntu); I stopped using the *snap* version some time ago – guiverc Apr 05 '21 at 10:42
