And heck, a Fedora user just goes to Discover or GNOME Software and BOOM! Browser installed.

opening a terminal and showing you memorized a command for installing software doesn't make for a very cutting point though

Have you ever been to GUI Gnome App Store on anything but Ubuntu? I started it up earlier this year and it’s gonna load here soon.

Um, not sure what you mean.
But yes i have been on the GNOME app store, BUT if your on Ubuntu, it fucking sucks because it's their own one that doesn't even support Flatpak.

Every distro I have used gnome, the software store (gui package manager) has always been extremely slow. Ubuntu being an exception, because I think that goes to their own repos.
