Pop shop makes the whole system freeze!
To view logs, in terminal run journalctl or journalctl -r for reverse order (newest first). Then search by pressing / and look for io.elementary.appcenter. And yes, Pop Shop is based on Elementary OS’s app center.
- Sorting Installed Packages in Pop!_Shop?
-
[Feature Request] - Pop Shop still does not show where an installation is coming from (normal apt/apt-get, Flatpak, Snap, etc.)
It already is open source, and always has been: https://github.com/pop-os/shop
- Does Pop!_Shop leak memory?
- Can someone suggest me a good gaming linux distro that has a good looking user interface
-
Is there plan for a new Pop!_Shop along COSMIC DE?
Memory-hogging; even when idle in the background, it can take ~500MB of memory alone. This is not very friendly to older hardware. See issue
- Mesa, Linux, Pop Shop updates available for testing

Recently migrate from Manjaro for the excellent support of pop os on Nvidia Optimus laptops, but having a hard time to understand how to install apps that don’t appear in pop shop. kind of rookie question or just used to have everything in Manjaro Gui packages manager
You can track progress at https://github.com/pop-os/shop/commits/master

I just realized that even pop devs also love to refer the Pop!_Shop's look as the Elementary appstore :| (found this in my sys monitor)
The Pop shop is a fork of the elementary app store.

Pop Shop keeps getting more reliable
Sure, there was the time recently when the flathub backend was down, and Pop Shop crashed. But other than that,

How to remove pop-desktop completely
And if that's not enough, you yourself seem to have been responsible that exactly this change was added to apt. If I may refresh your memory: https://github.com/pop-os/apt/pull/1 It even links to upstream Debian work mentioning exactly this method: https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/-/merge_requests/196

win x lin
And no matter how hard it is, if it's possible to break it, someone will find their way to completely breaking the system. Look at what Linus had to do to break his Pop!_OS install - go to the terminal (which already renders it far out of reach for the average user), run sudo apt install steam, and ignore a giant error. And that wouldn't work anymore anyway, because Pop now uses a version of APT that completely forbids breaking the system unless specifically configured to allow it - so there is now an extra step in there, telling APT not to preserve pop-desktop.

Confessions of a self admitted gatekeeper
This isn't locking it down. This is about providing sensible defaults like I mentioned before. For power users, the control is still there. It's easy enough to create the `/etc/apt/break-my-system` file so that you can shoot yourself in the foot if you wanted to. This is not similar to what ChromeOS or Android is doing at all.

I think what Linus and Luke at LTT are doing is incredibly important.
ah, I thought you mean https://github.com/pop-os/apt/pull/1

System76 Contributions and Collaborations
- Improve the GUI package manager error message: https://github.com/pop-os/shop/pull/302 - Make the apt message more explicit and make the bypass much harder: https://github.com/pop-os/apt/pull/1

Now that we have a baby-sitter with apt, how do we remove it?
https://github.com/pop-os/apt/pull/1/files Here is the code change. Note line 311.

The Linux community is growing – and not just in numbers
They have already committed a fix that improves things dramatically.
- Whose fault do you think that Linus ended up with a nuked DE and why?
-
What happened with LTT is our fault
And they already issued a "fix" to prevent people to easily "break" it.

System76: A Case Study on How Not To Collaborate With Upstream
