Key principles of the system:
The system has its own application repository, including all the packages supported by Debian (more than 56000 packages available on more than four different architectures), plus many other applications and tools that Debian does not yet provide, all of them are available directly from the APT package manager .
Additionally Parrot supports SNAP, a new package distribution system that provides easy access to many other programs that GNU / Linux distributions do not always have software in their archives. On the list of snap programs can be found here .
Flatpak is a universal software repository like snap. It can be installed from the official Parrot repository.
Parrot supports Wine , a compatibility layer for running Windows applications in a Linux environment.
