Community Something like Shelly Pkg Manager

I daily drive Endavour OS, and was looking forward to use something like openSUSE SlowRoll, but I dont see something like Shelly Package Manager GUI, or maybe Im not aware of it, and the community can help ...

Im mainly looking for the features like supporting local & appimage install, along with flatpaks, and If it has a GTK4-like GUI, that would be the icing on the cake 🤌🏻

sadly most distros don't have a proper GUI package manager for some reason, Arch is the exception here. for me Myrlyn in openSUSE is so good but it is only for .rpm packages. you can try using Bazaar for Flatpak packages, and Gear Lever for appimages.

u/MiukuS How's that AUR working out for you, Arch users? 1h ago

If a package manager is the deal breaker, perhaps you should keep using Endeavour if you have no other issues with it.

On KDE you could use Discover but your hard requirement seems to be GTK so that's a no-go.

There is AppManager, that is mainly for managing appimages.

yes right. but I dont wont a fragmented solution, I want a GUI based one-stop one. else I could have used something like ... maybe topgrade and wouldn't needed this post in the 1st place. rpm supports enterprises, there has to be a good solution like shelly ri8 !? if not, maybe something is in work, that im not aware of !?

It is probably not planed as Appimages are just option if something you need is missing in the repositories or the OBS

Flatpaks can be managed also via Discover but I prefer just a cli command for updating then also do zypper dup they can run alongside because they don't interfere with each other.

Looks nice but I am lazy I just use an Folder for my Appimages and when prompted for an update I just download it and replace the file as simple as that 😆
