i feel like some bigger Linux group will make an app store or similar that takes stuff in from their package manager, flatpak, snap, AppImage's and so forth, all in one
as, telling a new user to "use this application for this" and "this application for that" and "this for that" is a bad experience
@KiruPoruno gnome's software center already has a plugin system for this. Flatpaks show up right alongside debian packages for me
@KiruPoruno idk I'm on debian. I thought I had to install sth but checking online it seems to be automatic when installing the flatpak package
@noiob hmm, preferably it should work with more than apt, otherwise it'd just a Flatpak store on other distros
@KiruPoruno gnome software works with anything that supports packagekit. Apparenly Flatpak support works via gnome-software-plugin-flatpak, there's also one for snap and people can presumably write others
@noiob hmm, next up is having all of it on by default, and actually shipping it with most distros, not just GNOME, but also Cinnamon, XFCE and so forth
tho ig, if it doesn't already exist, a Qt one would probably be preferred on KDE
@noiob is it on by default tho? and does it work with anything but apt
