I am a happy Fedora user, but the "Software" application it ships with has always been a joke. Pushing flatpaks (and especially poorly-maintained ones like this) has made it worse.

When I open Software I always think it's going to be a clean GTK interface for dnf. But it appears to just do its own thing, and I've learned not to trust the app listings in there.

Similar story with Ubuntu's software app and Snap, though to be fair snap is mostly fine these days.

I still uninstall it and use apt instead (and "downgrade" packages that are wrappers around snaps, and block snapd from being able to install...).

I think Software only lists Apps with a GUI or something. Also I think that’s rather on Gnome than Fedora directly.

"I am a happy Fedora user"

...why?
