Is it recommended (officially supported) to install GNOME Software in Trisquel?

As I understand it Trisquel officially comes preinstalled with a modified of GNOME Install/Synaptic. The package name is trisquel-app-install.
GNOME Software, is not currently supported by Trisquel based on a dispute over its dependence on Snapd. [1].
KDE Discover, is a program I have yet to fully test, but there are issue trackers and forum posts for it as well. [2] [3]
Despite not being officially supported, having a GUI tool to install apps can be really good for people who are a bit newer to the GNU/Linux ecosystem. However, I do understand if you wish to only list how to add plugins for officially supported package managers as well. 👍

Triskel is a version of Trisquel with KDE but it doesn't appear to have official support for Discover. [4]
Let me know what your thoughts are and any way I might be able to better revise my PR.

(You will also need to rewrite this PR using a new metadata format that the yaml file uses. See how other entries do look like now: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak.github.io/blob/source/data/distro.yml#L1)

Closing this PR. It has been inactive for a long time without any of the issues addressed and also the distro.yml format has changed since then. Feel free to submit a new PR with these things resolved. |
These are the instructions for Trisquel users (Ubuntu derivative).
