E: Unable to locate package gnome-tweaks

I am trying to set up a bootable usb and I can't figure out why E: Unable to locate package gnome-tweaks keeps happening.

Welcome, there doesn't seem to be any relation between installing the package and creating a bootable usb. — schrodingerscatcuriosity, Oct 15 '20 at 20:30

@maxbear123 I never use the 'software app' whatever that might be. I install using apt. – Organic Marble Mar 24 '21 at 04:01
@maxbear123, nope apt update will do just fine. – Organic Marble Mar 24 '21 at 04:49
@maxbear I have 6 ubuntu pcs that I keep regularly updated and I have never, not once, "opened the software app". I don't know what you are trying to say, but you can create a desktop system, set it up, and keep it updated, and never, ever use the "software app". The "software app" AFAIK is just a GUI frontend for apt. – Organic Marble Mar 26 '21 at 19:25
@maxbear123 I'm not trying to answer any question. I'm just saying your first comment is wrong. Users don't ever have to use the "software app". – Organic Marble Mar 27 '21 at 13:07
My servers don't even have a desktop, so they certainly don't have the "software app" – Organic Marble Mar 27 '21 at 16:49
You just have to use apt-get update first. – maxbear123 Mar 27 '21 at 16:51
Yeah, that's what I said in my first comment. – Organic Marble Mar 27 '21 at 16:52
