Thinking of trying Tumbleweed. Can I use the discover store to download Steam and Spotify or is this one of those distros that say they are noob friendly but you have to use the terminal?

i love the gecko, idk why, just the vibes i think
but yast is useless for a regular user in 2026. makes everything so redundant with DE having those same options in settings
went Garuda (has BTRFS with automatic snapshots out of the box) and never looked back. Garuda Mocka looks great too.

You can use Discover to install and update software. But if you want to never use the terminal, Tumbleweed is probably not a good choice. Some configuration is still best handled through it.

Who the hell said that this distro is noob friendly? It's anything but noob friendly

One command. You need to type in one command to download steam on any distro

>>107832433
on arch it's two
one to edit pacman.conf to enable multilib, and one to install steam

no codecs need to install it via opi otherwise quite stable no terminal knowledge will be a pain though.

Yes, if you install either KDE flavors: Standard if you don't mind *krashes* or Base-KDE + Discover if you want the most polished experience possible. Be careful, however, of the "forced defaults" during the installation process as the OS will push unwanted apps for the updates, unless you mark a certain app with a "taboo", I think.

Had better support on my 2-in-1 laptop than Fedora or Zorin so its what I have been using. Have not needed to use the terminal from what I can remember except for one app that was not in the store. No real crashes from what I can remember. Handles rotating the screen and detaching the keyboard, bluetooth, wifi just fine. I do have some graphics issues with some 3d games, but I have to do more testing because its not all of them.

>>107831443
yes you can. flathub is preinstalled already and you can install repo packages and flatpaks from discover
>>
>>107833339
so if i want to download steam its as easy as searching it up on discover?
>>
>>107831443
If you are looking for noob friendly then fedora is currently your best choice.
