Alternatives for Synaptic for Gnome

[Francis (Grizzly) Smit]

if your running gnome  -shell on wayland you'll not be able to run
synaptic because it needs to run as root, to overcome this run xhost
si:localuser:root and it will work, I stuck it in my startup
applications as
command: /usr/bin/xhost si:localuser:root
so I don't have to keep running it every time I need to run something as
root, and synaptic runs just fine on XWayland
