@DoctorG said in Comparison: 'Synaptic' - 'Discover' in Linux:
Discover seems more for installing standard user's software, not for system maintenance as hold packages etc.
And Discover is borked, does less often show lists, never ending loading instead.
yes Discover is like GNOME Software etc they are all software app fronts using
packagekit
to upgrade in the background, from what I've seen and read though it is being constantly worked on and improved to the point where it should work fine for "newish"static distros, the version in Debian is probably prehistoric "in tech times", so maybe you are not seeing those (improvements). It's not recommended for rolling distros (Arch at least) though anyway. -

@guigirl Ironically, the most I've used freeze is when a new Vivaldi Snapshot would cause trouble. But I do like Synaptic's ease of version awareness and control.

I do not like to use them.
Better some "prehistoric" Linux than a distrie on strike.
Vivaldi causes enuff work to fix. -
