Apt++? Nala is Like Apt in Ubuntu but Better

Nala is a Python-based frontend for apt package management. Inspired by the DNF package manager, Nala seems like a promising tool for Ubuntu and Debian users.

@itsfoss Nala is a great tool I think and worth a try 👍🏼

Just a heads up for everyone on Ubuntu 22.04 want to try it: I'd recommend downloading and installing the package python3-typer beforehand manually from 22.10, because the 22.04 packaged version has some massive weird unneeded dependencies it would drag in as well 🫣

Needs to be careful on updating in #debian testing or sid. It may remove packages that are important to your system
