This is how easyLife looks at first launch.
That’s it. Now select the task you want to perform, and hit the OK button. easyLife will add the necessary repositories, download and install the selected packages for you.
easyLife doesn’t has many options and features like Fedy or PostInstallerF. And I noticed that some times It closes automatically. Apart from that, it just works as it advertised. Hope you like this tool.
