That's what I figured, but we found muon.

I don't care which.

But, how do I enable non-root package install?

Using muon, it asks for authentication to an account with root access.
Don't want to grant full-root, just package install and removal.

Currently, searching via muon, then installing via command line. The
eventual goal is all command line :), but baby steps.

We will be exploring debian-junior in depth this summer.

Reading Pepper & Carrot now, then some kdenlive howtos.

ciao,
