I have recently installed some software on my Ubuntu machine using apt command but I cannot find what software I have exactly installed.
Is there any way to fin the list of this recent installed packages?
Try this command
zcat -f /var/log/dpkg.log* | grep "\ install\ " | sort
It displays your recently installed packages.
I have tested it on my system. The output should look like this:
