I was pretty excited to try Bazaar, but UX-wise I feel like GNOME-software is way less overwhelming and thus easier to use - even though it's not great. And startup speed for Bazaar is still pretty slow, even though IIRC speed was supposed to be one of its selling points.

Still great to see people to try to innovate, and it's still pretty young, so definitely something to keep an eye on. But I was overhyped.

"Software" is increadibly fast for me on opensuse. Either it's the package manager or the connection that causes trouble.

It's packagekit which is slow. I've used Gnome Software on Fedora Atomic and it is quite fast (since a few big optimizations about two years ago) because it only has support for flatpak enabled.

Bazaar on Bazzite has been slow and crashy for me.

Yeah I had no idea the previous store was dropped and took me a while to figure out what bazaar was and it kind if sucks compared to previous like checking what you have installed and needs updates
