    Hello...

    I have just installed Parallels for Mac. I have Windows 11 and Ubuntu both working and am very happy with the whole set-up. However, I must be missing something. I have a separate Linux desktop with the same version of Ubuntu. On the desktop, there is a library/catalogue to install new apps etc that when selected download and installs, I cannot find it on the Parallels version. How do I find, select and install new programs?

    I have tried installing via terminal for example Enpass (a password manager) with...

    sudo apt install name of the app

    If anyone can give me a pointer or clue on how to start I would be very grateful...

    Best wishes all

    Ubuntu Software isn`t the only program you can use. Have you tried installing alternatives?
