COSMIC Store is coming along quickly, though there is still a lot left to do. It loads nearly instantly, because it uses bitcode to cache appstream data in an optimized format. It uses very little memory compared to the Pop Shop. Searches can be performed live as they are done in parallel. Searching for “e” takes 5.5 ms on my desktop and returns 4601 results.

Is it a real package manager or a reskin of aptitude?It’s a DE
Neither cosmic store nor gnome store is a DE. That’s the question I was asking. If the mentioned store was a package manager or a high level GUI for an existing package manager.I’m honecsltly curious since as far as I knew, gnome should interact with existing package managers, be it aptitude, pacman or yumhow about the old
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade || apt-get install shit? or maybe you’re more intodnf install shit || dnf update --refresh?deleted by creator
Well, if to you “GNOME” means “GNOME Software”, then surely “KDE” can mean “KDE Discover”.

You should edit that to say Gnome Software (aka Gnome App Store) instead of just Gnome. People are going to think you’re talking about the whole DE.
