    well gnome software and epiphany app stores just work.
    click, install, done.
    they provide an option to pick the source to install from (package/flatpak/snap), but they both automatically pick the best one for you.

    Debian/Ubuntu almost never break on updates (unless you mess with the PPAs too much), but at a significant cost: some packages and software (especially desktop environments and system packages) being 1-2 years out of date.

      Man I wish I had time to boot up a vm with a big distro, open both stores and try to install something, it’s immediately obvious.

      There’s a reason everyone online says “oh yeah, the stores exist, i still use the terminal though”

      They do not work.

        As a power user, I just like the terminal more, it’s much quicker to install stuff from the terminal.
