Discussion Is there a software manager like Zorin OS Lite’s for EndeavourOS XFCE?
Hi everyone,
I’m currently using EndeavourOS with XFCE, and I’m looking for a GUI software manager similar to the one in Zorin OS Lite.
What I really like about Zorin’s software store is that I can search for an application and install it from different sources through one interface, including Flathub.
For EndeavourOS, I’d ideally like something that can:
• Browse and install Flatpak/Flathub apps
• Install packages from the AUR using yay
• Search both sources from one GUI
• Ideally handle updates/removal as well
Is there a software manager that can do something like this on EndeavourOS XFCE?
I’ve looked at a few options, but I’m not sure which one can integrate both Flatpak + AUR properly.
Thanks!

Well, don't forget that EndeavourOS would like you to use the terminal to install software. It doesn't demand it, but that's what it's set up for.
In the past people used to use Pamac, but it wasn't always reliable.

You can install pamac as the software manager, and then install the flatpak plugin. I believe YAY comes preinstalled in EndeavourOS. So, in terminal...
