What is GNOME Software?

Software lets you install and update applications and system extensions. A plugin system is used to access software from different sources.

Plugins are provided for:

Traditional package installation via PackageKit (e.g. Debian package, RPM). Next generation packages: Flatpak and Snap. Firmware updates. Ratings and reviews (ODRS and Ubuntu reviews).

Software supports showing metadata that closely matches the AppStream format.

Software runs as a background service to provide update notifications and be a search provider for GNOME Shell.
