Why the New Flatpak App Store Should Be a Default on Every Linux Distro

 

Bazaar is a new tool designed to simplify the management of Flatpak apps on Linux systems, providing a user-friendly interface for users who find the existing management methods cumbersome.

Many Linux distributions, such as Pop!_OS, integrate Flatpak support, but managing these apps alongside traditional package types can be challenging. Bazaar serves as a dedicated app store for Flatpak applications, similar to how traditional app stores work with DEB or RPM packages. With Bazaar, users can effortlessly find, install, run, and manage Flatpak apps, making their experience smoother and more intuitive.

Features of Bazaar

Bazaar stands out with several key features:

  • Trending section for easily accessing popular apps
  • Categorization of apps
  • Sections for recently updated and added apps
  • A filter system to refine searches
  • A curated section for handpicked apps (coming soon)
  • Global progress indicators during installations

The interface is straightforward; users can search for their desired app and install it with a single click. Once an application is added, users can run it or access its Bazaar store page for further information and manage any add-ons associated with the app.

Installing Bazaar

Bazaar is itself distributed as a Flatpak app, making it easy to install on any Linux distribution that supports Flatpak. To install Bazaar, users simply need to open a terminal and input the following command:

flatpak install flathub io.github.kolunmi.Bazaar

After installation, it may be necessary to log out and back in to find Bazaar in the desktop menu.

Using Bazaar

Using Bazaar requires no previous experience with app management. Users can easily navigate through the app store-like interface to search for and install their desired applications. For users who may have felt overwhelmed by the command line or the management of Flatpak apps through their distribution’s native store, Bazaar provides an effective solution that streamlines the process.

With Bazaar, managing Flatpak apps becomes a much more manageable task, transforming the user experience on Linux desktops and allowing users to feel confident and proficient in their app management.
