Settings

Hide/Show always win, regardless of your OS. Auto follows whatever the Operating system tab has selected β€” or, with none selected, shows everything and assumes nothing's set up yet, same as before this tab existed.

Cross-distro formats

  • Flatpak
    Flathub

    One-time β€” adds the Flathub remote to Flatpak.

    flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
    elementary AppCenter

    One-time β€” adds elementary's own Flatpak remote.

    flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists appcenter https://flatpak.elementary.io/repo.flatpakrepo
  • Snap
    Snap Store

    One-time β€” installs snapd if it isn't already. The exact command depends on your distro, so this links to Snapcraft's own install guide rather than assuming apt.

  • AppImage
    Desktop integration

    Most distros need a small helper to add AppImages to your app menu and keep them updated β€” Gear Lever (via Flatpak, so it works the same on any distro) is the actively maintained pick. Some setups already handle this on their own; skip it if yours does.

  • GOG
  • Lutris
  • GitHub Releases

Distro packages

  • Arch Linux
    AUR

    One-time β€” the AUR itself needs a helper (yay, paru, ...), pacman alone can't reach it.

    # install an AUR helper first, e.g.: https://github.com/Jguer/yay#installation
  • Debian
  • Ubuntu
    Universe

    One-time β€” Universe (community-maintained) isn't enabled by default. Applies to some Ubuntu packages, not all β€” the catalog can't tell which yet.

    sudo add-apt-repository universe && sudo apt update
  • Fedora
    RPM Fusion

    One-time β€” RPM Fusion is an addon repo, not enabled by default on Fedora.

    sudo dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
  • openSUSE
    non-oss

    One-time β€” oss and update are enabled by default, non-oss and update-non-oss aren't. Applies to some openSUSE packages, not all β€” the catalog can't tell which yet. Repo alias can vary by version; run zypper lr if this doesn't match.

    sudo zypper mr -e repo-non-oss repo-update-non-oss
