So i’m a ubuntu user and been using it for years seance 2008 I guess but I call my self a comfort user I use every OS out there and i use linux because how fast and safe it is mostly.

However one thing always bothered me, that aren’t we too relied on unified software centers.

Back in the day you could find deb file or two to install but honestly we still used PPAs, sinptik and ubuntu software center now i use flathub and ubuntu store.

However i can’t compile from source so doesn’t this puts me/us in a pretty vulnerable situation?

Where if a software source goes we don’t know what to do ?

Update

I believe a lot of you don’t understand where i’m going with this post:

My discusttion is what will happen if the software center goes down for example you are using ubuntu app center it want down and now what do you do ?

You can’t install gnome software center easily remember ubuntu app center want down !

Even the deb files are harder to come by nowdays for example what will happen if hackers attack flathub and ubuntu software center ?

In windows it’s easy you just get installer exe files and run them mostly but what will happen with us not power user linux users
