I have no idea if this is true, but I think it's deprecated. I cannot install it on Ubuntu (in 2020).

I think the cause is that Python2 is deprecated and Wicd is based on Python2.

So a lot of dependencies have been removed from the package manager and cannot be installed anymore.

Tell me if you can relate this issue.

Otherwise Wicd was a very good app.

It sure as hell works a lot better than the default network-manager included with Linux Mint, but it's unable to work with the Intel Wireless-AC 8265 in my desktop. I'm not sure if it was due to it being a much newer WiFi Card compared to the others that I have, being an Intel Wireless-AC 7260 for my laptop, and a Asus PCE-AC56 previously used in my desktop, or just a simple coding error in the latest version of it. If it is because of my card being newer, then other WiFi cards that are also recent would be out of luck in this instance.
