From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

KDE?
it is one of many non-GNOME GUIs
So why did you mention Gnome? It's also not a package manager
~~Is it a real package manager or a reskin of aptitude?~~
It's a DE
~~Neither cosmic store nor gnome store is a DE. That's the question I was asking. If the mentioned store was a package manager or a high level GUI for an existing package manager.~~
~~I'm honecsltly curious since as far as I knew, gnome should interact with existing package managers, be it aptitude, pacman or yum~~
He didn't say "Gnome software", he said "Gnome" which is a DE.
You are completely right, I guess my mind blanked. Sorry, my app doesn't show enough context chain comments for responses and I had to look up the comment separately to make sense of the chain.
Gnome Software is just a front end for PackageKit
What are you asking?
Great?
Okay?
And?
Alright?
how about the old
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade || apt-get install shit
? or maybe you're more intodnf install shit || dnf update --refresh
?Well, if to you "GNOME" means "GNOME Software", then surely "KDE" can mean "KDE Discover".
You should edit that to say Gnome Software (aka Gnome App Store) instead of just Gnome. People are going to think you're talking about the whole DE.
