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.

I love GNOME, but Gnome Software is hot garbage. If KDE gets their gtk/adwaita tweaks in place, I might recommend Discover instead.
Also, arguably, by the most argumentative people, AppStream is also hot garbage, which is what was supposed to solve your problem regarding "too many package managers".
I personally would wish AppStream didn't suck and that it was also aware of NPM and crate packages. They've sort of been forgotten or relegated "developer tools"... even though you can pull full applications and system libraries.
How many "it's 2025 already" problems do we have to encounter this year?
