   @thelinuxEXP @chertograd using the command line tools like apt and rpm works without worrying about which DE you are using

     @chertograd It’s an Ubuntu thing, Fedora uses the GNOME Software Center, and it works perfectly :)

     @thelinuxEXP How has the Software Center/Updater been working with apps?
     The reason I'm asking is because Ubuntu Software Center (which confusingly is just a shortcut that opens an app called the Snap Store) gives all kinds of errors when updating apps and never shows any information on them (just a text "Gathering information..").

     I'm beginning to think it's just an Ubuntu thing.
     Really annoying and far from a simple "just works" GUI solution since I'm constantly running terminal cmds now...

     I upgraded my main laptop to #Fedora 38. One click in the Software Center, it downloaded everything in about 5 minutes, and the upgrade itself took around the same amount of time. Everything works after rebooting, except the Quick Settings Tweaker and Dark mode switcher extensions, which are not crucial, so I’d say it was pretty damn smooth! I’m always amazed at how simple our desktops have become these days…

     Will upgrade the desktop today as well!
