A new ‘app store’ is expected to ship as part of Ubuntu 23.10 when it’s released in October — and it’ll debut with a notable change to DEB support.

    Tldr: the new store only supports snaps, deb support will come later. OP, please provide summary next time if you link to clickbait articles.

      Deb support will come later, but:

      If the same piece of software exists in the Ubuntu repository and the snap store the new store will only make it possible to install the snap version.

      So the title is on point IMO.

      It’s not a click bait per se. Even after deb support they will use only snap for applications that has a snap package and only debs if it hasn’t got any snap package afaik.

      BUT, the “new” store is based on a community project which ALREADY supports both deb and snap.
