Hi, and Happy New Year (almost)! This is something that might be helpful for newbies especially. Was going through some things on my computer and found a NICE list of familiar Linux package names with SUPER BRIEF, SUPER SIMPLE one-liners describing what they do. The list is from Linux From Scratch: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/8.4/prologue/package-choices.html
Thanks for sharing.In theory, the first line of a Debian package's Description field should be exactly this. But the quality varies enormously. If you spot a package where the first-line Description could use improving, please consider submitting an alternative!
You can inspect the first line of any package's Description field with apt show packagename | grep ^Description
