What do I mean by batch install?
Would be an graphical way to do what we already do via command line on all distributions:

apt install firefox libreoffice alacritty gnome-desktop lsd bat btrbk
dnf in install firefox libreoffice alacritty gnome-desktop lsd bat btrbk
pacman -S firefox libreoffice alacritty gnome-desktop lsd bat btrbk
zypper in firefox libreoffice alacritty gnome-desktop lsd bat btrbk

I only recall the old good Synaptic having this feature, if my memory serves me well, thinking that it would be a feature on all graphical software managers today. Unfortunetly isn't.

What I imagine it could be something like search and sending each one wanted to a Queue, that could or not be automatically processing those installs while you keep sending more to the list or just waiting the Install List to be clicked. On that, being able to export and import that list would make very pratical to share or install the same on other machines.

It would probaly not be a trivial thing to implement, but would be very good to have.
