Re: Popular packages in Ubuntu that is missing in Debian/main
Hello,
Looking at the list none of it makes sense in Debian, and the query is
inherently biased.
This is simply the list of packages installed by default on an Ubuntu
Desktop default installation.
There are some additions - e.g. nvidia stuff is automatically
installed through ubuntu-drivers, if nvidia graphics are detected and
user chooses to install proprietary drivers.
A bunch of other things are simply different package naming schemes and/or ABI.
Some are third-party packages all togeter (e.g. google-chrome-stable).
No human was involved in choosing to install any of these, apart from
like adobe-flashplugin/google-chrome-stable which are unsuitable for
debian main for obvious reasons.
Regards,
Dimitri.
