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.

Seriously why does Gnome software feel so much faster!
First time I've heard someone call Gnome Software fast. In my experience that app feels like it's on it's last legs; the Flatpak CLI is far better than any desktop GUI.
Gnome Software has received numerous updates over the last few years which make it considerable faster. Searching and viewing apps is now fast enough to be usable, compared to it taking many seconds to minutes for basic tasks.
I've stopped removing Software on every system, altough I'm not usually using it. I've not tested it, but I feel like Discover is now slower than Software.
COSMIC Appstore ;D
I'm not saying it's fast; I'm saying that it's faster than KDE Discover
My main issue with Gnome Software is if I queue something to install, and go back to browse for more apps, once something is done installing it "refreshed" and I lose the spot I was at. Makes me feel I can only install one thing at a time.
