Re: Is hexchat and synaptic available for Focal?
Iv'e been using synaptic in Xubuntu for quite a while, so, yes, it's available. I've not tried to install hexchat, so I have no idea.
However, I've been having some problems with synaptic with wayland, such as serious lockup. A bug has been reported, but no progress that I can see.
BACKUPS are unsexy — until you discover you should have done one yesterday.
Spare your nerves and do one before you upgrade or install.
