This is very good. I meant to answer Jorge question “what SteamOS and Mint question” in the context of my comment but forgot about it:
So, in the various videos talking about Bazaar, there is a lot of hope put into it to be used to “slay the getting my applications dragon once and for all” along with addressing monetization issue (donations).
That’s a great aim, and it’s great if Bazaar can be part of the answer because we do need a real app ecosystem for Linux to go more mainstream. But, to do so, Bazaar’s effort can’t just stay in Bazaar. It’d just be elementaryOS appcenter 2.0 in that case.
No, there needs to be a way for Bazaar’s efforts to propagate beyond just ublue-os family. Being good enough Gnome is interested in promoting it a la many of their modern apps rebuild is a good step in the right direction, but Mint and SteamOS needs to be accounted for because 1.) They are still a huge portion of Linux Desktop and still growing with even people like Pewdiepie directing people there; 2.) They only care about their DE’s apps.
In other words, the good work of Bazaar could just be stuck in Bluefin, Aurora, and Bazzite a la appcenter being stuck in elementaryOS (and to a lesser degree PopOS). It doesn’t need to be a Qt version or a libbazaar like I mentioned. Just for the good ideas to, in some way, be portable enough to be adopted in other DE and other distro.
Anyways, that’s enough of that. I’ll probably check it out once it’s on Bazzite Ally Stable, but I rarely install new apps these days, outside of checking random stuff via Arch Distrobox. I hope the removal of Discover doesn’t disturb KDE’s Get New Stuff and updating those stuff, though, when that happens.
