   Sort of like Amazon Prime Video telling me about all the shit I didn't   
   realize I needed?   
      
   I have used Synaptic or a similar GUI every now and then. Aisleriot is the   
   GNOME solitaire collection and that isn't exactly apparent. KPatience is   
   the KDE equivalent and a little easier to guess.   
      
   fwiw, I play Klondike and KPatience's version is nice. At the point where   
   you've won it automatically moves the cards to the foundation piles. The   
   GNOME version is manual. Besides KPatience let's you select card faces   
   with penguins.   
      
   Typically I know what I want to install like 'sudo apt install vim-gtk', I   
   try a command and I get   
      
   $ geany   
   Command 'geany' not found, but can be installed with:   
   sudo apt install geany   
      
   or I'm at the relevant website that has the instructions for installing it   
   on the various distros.   
      
   There was a discussion on the Fedora subreddit that said you should always   
   use Discover for updates since it does an offline update and will tell you   
   if you should reboot. The question was why it wants to reboot 9 times out   
   of ten.  I use dnf. Despite almost daily updates 'dnf needs-restarting'   
   says a reboot is not required although the box has been up 59 days.   
      
   If it makes people feel better they should use Discover by all means.
