Hi there! I am new to Linux generally, have been using Linux Mint for over a year, after switching from Windows. Now I am playing around with Ubuntu 18 (as a VM), considering installing that on my next machine.
This is a very basic question regarding the subject of software sources, which I probably don't really understand.
Noticed that when I searched for software, I can't find some packages on Ubuntu. I tried changing Ubuntu source to same as my Mint (http.//archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu) which shows under "mirrors" "base (xenial)" in Mint "software sources".
I wanted to install "ubuntu-restricted-extras" in Ubuntu as I did in Mint. When I search for "ubuntu-restr.." in Mint software manager, it shows the package, but in Ubuntu software manager it does not. I installed in via command line in Ubuntu (sudo apt-get ubuntu-restricted-extras), seemed to work.
But why does it not show up in software manager? Generally, I noticed that Ubuntu manager seems to give you less options than Mint?
Thanks!
