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.

    Hopefully it tells you if you are installing a deb or a flatpak app more clearly. I can only tell by the size in the current pop shop.

        Only if there are multiple options. If there is 1 option, it does not. At least on my store. You can only really tell if it says

        “Up to # MB” - flatpak

        Or just " # MB" - deb

      And hopefully it’s more performant and doesn’t crash/hang up most of the time!

        Can’t say much about stability as I have only used it for a short amount of time but it is the fastest shop gui I have ever used and I don’t even think it can get noticeably faster. Everything feels instant
