COSMIC Store is coming along quickly, though there is still a lot left to do. It loads nearly instantly, because it uses bitcode to cache appstream data in an optimized format. It uses very little memory compared to the Pop Shop. Searches can be performed live as they are done in parallel. Searching for “e” takes 5.5 ms on my desktop and returns 4601 results.

    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.
