Right! Garuda is nice. I didn't even think of Steam... but you may actually be right about that one. It's the cream of the crop, as much as a diss that is to basically everything else out there, lol.
I had ZenWorks at work when it launched in the late 90s (early adopter) and it was, especially for that time - and quite a bunch of years after - comparatively sublime. Took forever to set up a new distribution, was reboot prone on Windows 95 (multiple times for a single install, because why not), and wasn't without bugs, but if I think back now, and see all those "modern" app stores that are marketing machines / sales funnels first and foremost (this also goes for Steam though) I really wish we just had clean software management solutions.
So what features are the most important?
I think I'd personally vote navigation / categorization and search integrity. I don't want scams when I type in "bitcoin wallet", or worse "<name of wallet>" [1] but it needs to be combined with clean UI and I need to be able to see what I already have quickly.
So maybe it's really good UX + integrity that makes the difference? Not sure.
and get a sponsored crypto.com trading app as the top result; yes, I'm looking at you, Google, ya buncha irresponsible scammy assmilkers. ↩
Pfff no my shit is complete ass right now. Although I do generally like YAD because Linux has a lot of terminal based programs and YAD being something that works with linux bash allows you to kinda easily take the output of a terminal application and display it in a GUI
Now, the best Linux graphical software manager is probably steam lmao, but to be more inspiring I'll say I'm inspired a lot by Garuda
