Bazaar: A GNOME Software Center Replacement [WIP]

I have been following the development of this the last few weeks and it is looking very fast and responsive! I am excited to try it when an official release comes out. You can try it out by following the install instructions from GitHub.

diagnostics0 right on. I really don't like software.
Bazaar, from the github link, appears as a slightly more thoughtful version of software. see where it goes. thanks for showing us another option wheneopkg goes bye bye.

That looks pretty nice. I use KDE mostly and rather like Discover, but have some Gnome and Budgie systems as well and do not care for Gnome Software. This looks like it has good potential.

eopkg isn't going anywhere. The Solus Software Center, the GUI, is what we will be deprecating. The eopkg backend is not going anywhere anytime soon.

TraceyC good to know, thanks. I thought it was all getting thrown out eventually.

Bazaar update number 4

Notable updates:

Bazzite will be adopting it and making it the default Flatpak app center in future releases. It is currently deployed in Bazzite and Bluefine testing branches.

"More exciting, however, is that Bazzite has chosen Bazaar as its new main flatpak store in a future release! You can find it currently deployed in Bazzite's testing branch as well as Bluefin's daily stable release, where it is also being evaluated. "

Looked at up-and-comers Bazzite and Bluefin recently trying to pick an OS for my old laptop. Good to see Bazzaar evolving.
In fact I hope there are even more package manager options by the time Solus dumps it's on Software Center.
