A new ‘app store’ is expected to ship as part of Ubuntu 23.10 when it’s released in October — and it’ll debut with a notable change to DEB support.

    It’s just because I’m a newbie – having been using Linux for one year, and started with Ubuntu simply because that was shipped ready with my laptop. I haven’t found the time to try any other distro yet, because of work & lack of time.

    Indeed I remember I was thinking about moving to Linux years ago, exactly when the Amazon-Ubuntu craziness happened, so I thought “some other time”.

    Regarding snap & flatpak: I simply don’t like the redundancy philosophy behind them.

      If it works, don’t switch distros. There’s always an OS which does sth. better.

        That’s also true! Sometimes out of curiosity I might explore with "live cd"s rather than really reinstalling a distro.

          Trying sth new is never a bad idea. From live cd’s, over vm’s or distrobox containers, it makes you more comfortable in switching between environments.
