I used aptitude myself in Debian a while ago, I liked that one.
I guess my issue is maybe in Debian I am not tapping into the right
repositories. With YAY I was able to install Syncterm and Netrunner super
easy through YAY. When I used Debian or Ubuntu seemd the Repositories I
pulled from never had Syncterm and Netrunner so I had to manually download
and compile. Again with YAY in Manjaro all I had to do in terminal was enter
in "YAY -S syncterm" and it downloaded and compiled it super easy.
So guess my question now switches to, how to avoid manually downloading
syncterm and then having to manually compile it? Is there Repository that has
syncterm and or Netrunner for Debian?
