  1. Ubuntu 26.04 porta un grande aggiornamento all’App Center: ora gestisce anche i pacchetti Deb installati e introduce nuove funzioni per gli snap. Un passo avanti atteso da anni. #Ubuntu #AppCenter #Linux

  2. In AppCenter we now show a simple percentage-based app rating when ratings are available from ODRS—the same ratings server used by apps like GNOME Software. When developers provide screenshots for multiple platforms, we now show you the ones intended for elementary OS. We’ve added support for app addons, and we now show when a game supports playing with controllers

    #AppCenter #Flatpak

  3. More serious comment: What's really great about that / community is that there are a lot of software "authors", like, single persons writing serious, usable apps and maintaining them for years.
    Yes, sometimes you need to pay for apps - maybe there's a relation? 😉
    We'd need way more of that on , and it's a pity @elementary isn't succeeding offering paid apps on its yet.
    It could be the best of what you'd call

  4. RE: mastodon.social/@buildstash/11

    Exciting! We've (cc @marrkus) been building like crazy, and imo Buildstash is at a point where:

    - if you're an app, game, or embedded team it's ready to use in your workflow now
    - it just feels like a _really_ cool product 😊

    Here's a demo of what it looks like today ⬇️

    #devtool #devtools #devops #buildops #cicd #ci #buildtool #developers #software #apps #gamedev #GameDevelopment #demo #startup #startups #product #buildinpublic #releases #builds #binary #artifact #appcenter #hockeyapp #embedded

  5. You should be able to use the apps and app stores that you trust without any gate keeping from your operating system. That’s a big part of why we chose to build our app store on @FlatpakApps

    #Flatpak #AppCenter

  6. As Microsoft shutters App Center today, many devs are on the lookout for a replacement..

    Here's a thing I wrote on the history of App Center from its HockeyApp origins, why it's a loss, and why Buildstash (which I'm building!) may be the replacement you need ☺️

    #appcenter #mobiledev #devops #ios #android

  7. In OS 8 we’re expanding your access to apps even further by including the most popular app store for Linux out of the box: @flathub

    You’ll be able to access apps made specifically for elementary OS, apps made for Linux, and popular cross-platform apps like Discord and Spotify all directly from #AppCenter without having to manually sideload or configure an alt store.

  8. Why did I only just find this now?! Great stuff for people looking for App Center Crash replacement.

    In this repository you can find an overview of different crashlytics services and what they support specific to .NET MAUI apps

    github.com/mattleibow/CloudyCr

    #appcenter #dotnet #dotnetmaui #crashlytics

  9. Further testing @elementary I am very happy I eventually could fix the annoying "hanging screen" bug, which was due to a bug of the graphics driver. Now the whole experience is a lot better thanks to the great hint of @mikael I only read by chance.

    Now I hope the remaining glitches of the very important and parts are fixed before release of , because they don't seem stable enough to me right now.

  10. L’App Center di Ubuntu può ora installare i pacchetti in formato DEB
    #Ubuntu #Canonical #appcenter #deb #linux #UnoLinux
    Canonical ha in queste ore rilasciato un nuovo aggiornamento per il suo App Center che ripristina la possibilità di installare i pacchetti in formato DEB.

  11. Ubuntu’s App Center Updated, Can Now Open/Install DEB Packages

    Ubuntu’s Flutter-based App Center can now open and install 3rd-party DEB installers. An App Center update that adds support for ‘side-loading’ DEB packages began rolling out to users on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS in the past few weeks (but as snaps update in the background silently, without any indication or alert, I only just noticed). To be clear: this is about being able to install DEB packages you download from the web (e.g., Google Chrome, Discord, Steam, Vivaldi, Slack, etc) using App Center. It’s not about installing DEBs from the Ubuntu repos, which was already possible. With this update it is :sys_more_orange:

  12. DEB Installers in Ubuntu App Center Coming Soon

    One of the biggest drawback to Ubuntu’s new App Center, the Flutter-based replacement for GNOME’s Software Center, is that it doesn’t let you install DEBs downloaded from the web. To be clear (since confusion often creeps in) the Ubuntu App Center does allow you to install DEB software so long as it’s the Ubuntu repos. What it doesn’t (currently) do, which the many software center incarnations over the years did, is ‘side load’ DEB packages. But, at long last, this feature is coming. On the App Center Github there’s been a spurt of activity in a pull request to plumb :sys_more_orange:

  13. :ubuntu: Ubuntu | Snap Store got a facelift :stallman_thaenkin: 🛒

    Inside Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: just open the App Center to install Snaps (+all other packages) from one spot.

    ◉New handy category sidebar
    ◉Featured Snaps highlighted
    ◉The search bar enhanced
    ◉Store in web enables Snaps on any Linux / browser / on phone too
    ◉Both free & open source / proprietary apps
    ◉There are ~8500 Snaps

  15. Microsoft #AppCenter will be retired next year. I've been mostly using it for internal distribution - partially to avoid all google restrictions and whining.

  16. The Odd-Looking ‘App Center’ Icon in Ubuntu 23.10 is Being Fixed

    About a week ago I noticed the icon for App Center (the Flutter-based software store-front that replaced Ubuntu Software in 23.10) had changed — and not for the better! At first I assumed it was a snafu caused by me. See, I only noticed the change when I was playing around with scaling options (I was seeing whether 200% scaling on my 2K laptop screen was as bad as I remembered, or if it was just me being a fop for fractional scaling). Anyway, it wasn’t a “me” thing. As App Center is a snap (snap-store ) it gets updated :sys_more_orange:

  18. Gentle reminder that when you build apps for #Flatpak you can choose to publish in a store like #AppCenter or #FlatHub, but you can also host your own and completely avoid platform rules and fees. No walled gardens and your apps are available to the entire family of Linux-based operating systems

  19. Installing Deb Packages in Ubuntu 23.10 is Harder Than It Should Be

    When you double click on a deb package in Ubuntu 23.10 an error will say “there is no app installed for Debian package files”. In this post I show you how to work around it. Most of us are accustomed to double-clicking on local deb files to install them (even Chrome OS lets you do this from its native file manager if the Linux development environment is turned on). But in Ubuntu 23.10 it doesn’t work. The spangly new App Center in Ubuntu 23.10 isn’t (currently) able to open, handle, or install deb packages downloaded from the web (despite said :sys_more_orange:

  20. Ubuntu 23.10 is Available to Download, This is What’s New

    Get ready to grab the bull by the horns as Ubuntu 23.10 ‘Mantic Minotaur’ is now available to download. This update is a short-term release supported by 9 months of ongoing support, bug fixes, and critical app updates. While it may not sound long (because it isn’t, all told) remember that Ubuntu 24.04 is out in April 2024 as a long-term support release with 5 years of support. Summarising Ubuntu 23.10 in just one word is tricky, but ‘refinement’ feels an apt choice. GNOME 45 brings a bevvy of buffs to the core desktop experience; improved window tiling; a sharper-looking :sys_more_orange:

  21. A new version of my little weather app Nimbus is available on #AppCenter and to download as a #Flatpak ref! It now shows wind speed, visibility, and pressure. Check it out appcenter.elementary.io/io.git

  22. We’ve gained a number of new followers recently—shoutouts @FediFollows—so maybe it’s time for a re-#introduction?

    Hi! We’re elementary, an #OpenSource software company with a focus on #InclusiveDesign! We make #elementaryOS—the thoughtful, capable, and ethical replacement for Windows and macOS—plus #AppCenter, the pay-what-you-can app store.

    We’ve been contributing to the desktop #Linux space for about 16 years now and we’re 100% funded by regular people just like you 💕

  23. There’s now also an Icon Browser app available in #AppCenter where you can see all of the icons shipped with the elementary platform. You can search or view icons by category as well as see what sizes and styles an icon comes in and even get a quick code snippet to use in your app.

  24. It's really cool that 15 people have chosen to pay for Darkbar on the #elementaryOS #AppCenter since payments were enabled in July.
