Discover helps you find and install applications, games, and tools. You can search or browse by category, and look at screenshots and read reviews to help you pick the perfect app.
With Discover, you can manage software from multiple sources, including your operating system’s software repository, Flatpak repos, the Snap store, or even AppImages from store.kde.org.
Discover is also the replacement for the now unmaintained ‘Apper’ update tool. Discover can update both your core operating system packages and sandboxed apps like Flatpaks, Snaps or AppImages in an automatic way, without having to authenticate as root.
This is free and open source software.
