## To Install and remove packages

Packages in TCET Linux is managed by package manager.
1. Before installing any package it is always recommened to **synchronize your package database**. For that use command:

```
sync
```
2. To **install a package** and its necessary depedencies use command:

```
install package_name
```

3. To **remove a package** from your package database use command:
```
remove package_name
```

4. Packages also come with dependencies on which package relies on in order to function properly. To remove package with its dependencies use command:
```
autoremove package_name
```

<br />

## Terminal Features
1. `Autosuggestion` is for the people who are using terminal frequently, sometimes users forget about previously entered command and their parameters. It is also helpful for beginners who often make mistakes.

> You can add autosuggestions to your terminal in Linux by installing the `zsh-autosuggestions package`.
You can run following command on terminal:
```
install zsh-autosuggestions
```

2. `Autocompletion` allows user to automatically complete the command by typing partial commands. It is one of the most useful tools in any operating system. Linux distribution with *bash* as their default shell has inbuilt auto-completion feature. Type your command partially and then hit `tab` key to autocomplete rest of your command.TCET Linux comes with autocompletion and autosuggestion as a `default in-built` feature.

You can add Autocompletion to your terminal by running command:
```
install zsh-auto-completion
```

## Xfce
`Xfce` is and `open-source desktop environment` for Unix and Unix like operating systems like Linux. We made this choice to ensure a smooth and intuitive user experience, recognizing Xfce's reputation for being lightweight, yet feature-rich, making it an ideal match for our operating system's philosophy.In addition to this features,it runs `low on system resources` which makes it a perfect desktop environment for TCET Linux.
