It's possible to install the `cosmic-store`, but it will be some time before it's ready to replace the elementary appcenter.

I don't see any kind of db in cosmic-store's dependencies. So is it going to have the exact same memory usage problems as elementary appcenter?

Where the elementary appcenter needs 900 MB, and KDE Discover needs 600 MB, the COSMIC Store needs only 60 MB. The COSMIC Store uses serde to serialize package metadata into a bitcode format, which uses significantly less memory and enables rapid application startup times. As a result, it does not need to run in the background, and it can search the entire database in realtime within 5ms.
