A new ‘app store’ is expected to ship as part of Ubuntu 23.10 when it’s released in October — and it’ll debut with a notable change to DEB support.

    The Fedora software app has been promoting flatpaks over native packages, even not displaying that native packages are available even if they are, requiring the command line tool to access some native packages. So I don’t see how this is fundamentally different.

      The fundamental difference is that flatpak is a good system, adopted by many distributions.

      Snap sucks and only Ubuntu uses it.

      They’ll do like their Unity UI, wait many years until they realize their mistake then drop it.
