  1. In today's Nice Micro Monday episode, I provide you with a long rant about the software distribution models on Linux and what I think are the remaining issues that need to be solved.

    Yes, I find reporting to downstream packagers (a.k.a. distributors) extremely relevant! When your favorite #SoftwareCenter or #PackageManager is all for linking to upstream, but not to those who directly affect your package in a supply chain, as a result, tops like in #KeePassXC get all the pinecones: there is no enthusiasm in an average user to link back those issues to downstream, not with the p(l)ain text and how derivatives are communicated anyway... :blobcat_flop_woozy:

  7. This is how the new App Center in Ubuntu 23.10 does when you click or double-click on a deb file to install it. Basically I can no longer install deb files, as I could with the old Software Center.

  8. @gnome Software is one of the best #Linux software centers in terms of UI and features. It has the option to choose package format, view app screenshots, description, ratings, download size, permissions, whether the app is open source or not and many more. The only drawback is the long (re)loading time which can be quite annoying sometimes.
