Proteus App Manager

The Proteus App Manager is a tool which allows for easier installation of packages which you do not want to go hunt down what you need. It also includes some automated processes such as a pre-configured Netplan template for automatically managing network adapters.

On top of all the apps and tweaks provided, this script also gives the user the ability to install ZorinOS Pro Layouts which includes the Windows 10/11, and MacOS layouts.

If you need a one-stop interface for installing your most needed programs, give the manager a spin if you're looking to save a bit of time.
