I am trying to find software for Ubuntu that usually not in an app store. Being new to Linux has made some of this difficult. Browsing through synaptic is very tedious. I am not looking for anything specific, I would just like to browse them to see if there is anything I could use. Now more specifically here are examples of what I am talking about

fzf curl bpytop plocate ffmpegthumbnailer neofetch preload net-tools traceroute ubuntu-restricted-extras thefuck

I have not searched for all of these but the ones I did, did not show up in the app stores. I stumbled upon all of these looking for something else.

Is there a list to see these that open up functionality to my pc or command line? Maybe share the ones you use or are aware of?

Thanks

You could just use apt search fzf as example

guiverc@d7050-next:/de2900/lubuntu_64$   apt search fzf
.. redacted
fzf/plucky 0.57.0-1 amd64
  general-purpose command-line fuzzy finder
.. redacted

which is more about fzf than I knew before, and comes up with other packages too that are available using fzf as the search criteria.

You can also search for snap packages

guiverc@d7050-next:/de2900/lubuntu_64$   snap search fzf
Name              Version  Publisher     Notes  Summary
fzf-carroarmato0  0.27.0   carroarmato0  -      A command-line fuzzy finder
fzf-slowday       0.16.6   slowday       -      fzf is a general-purpose command-line fuzzy finder

and even try flatpak search fzf, though that got me no results.
