The synaptic package manager I am using is full of debian packages. When I tried out Opera browser, I had to install gdebi first, in order to install Opera.
You could use synaptic to install Opera. You could also create a local non-repository source for use in synaptic. Gdebi is a good little helper for synaptic. There's a lot of ways to skin the cat and I do it all with a click. Clicks are way faster than typing! Seriously, explore the menus. All the logs are there, managing cache is there, all the terminal warnings, errors, list changes, and all the info on packages, dependants, orphans, etc. It's all there and clickable. The command line has no advantage.
That's all mostly true. However when I uninstalled Firefox with synaptic and installed Firefox ESR the profiles clashed and I had to manually remove a file in the mozilla folder in hidden files and reinstall Firefox before it worked properly.
I love gdebi because it installs programs fast, like Chrome or Opera by opening the program from Firefox and installing the program. I had to look around and scroll down the menu in Synaptic to find Opera and uninstall it.
Installing chromium from the terminal involves openning the ternimal and typing a simple command. In Synaptic to open synaptic, search for the program and mark for installation and so on. It takes longer.
