> Rant: Why the fuck would I ever use a DE "app-store-thing"?! I use my OS's tools for installing/upgrading/uninstalling programs. Stop trying to help, you are making it worse.

The DE "app-store-thing" is a front end to packageKit and packageKit is a front end to your package manager.

On some distros there is an additional software store that connects into Snap[0], so they're technically not distro supplied packages.
