    i searched it at the time and all i could ever find was fancontrol.

    which is fine and solved my problem, but 99% of niche linux software i use was found through forums like lemmy, on recommendation of other nerds. hardly a good way to find it quick.

    ideally searching a distros app store should find almost everything, more or less like android can do today.

      While I agree with the sentiment, you’re comparing a mobile OS, built that way from the ground up, to a desktop OS. The same problem exists in Windows and MacOS.

        it does, and we ain’t in the ideal world! heres the thing, on one hand they got more media covering them, but on the other they use an universal kind of installer.

        worse, some devs will spin .exes and .dmgs but on linux they wont even bother giving you an install script sometimes, let alone using flatpak which is a solution that fixes most of those problems.
