The Pop!_Shop

Pop!_OS includes a GUI application called the Pop!_Shop for easy installation and management of open-source and proprietary applications. Packages listed in the Pop!_Shop reference several sources:

• Debian (.deb) Packages - Debian packages from default sources are referenced from System76's worldwide CDN. This CDN combines mirrored Ubuntu repositories with applications packaged specifically for Pop!_OS. This dedicated CDN also provides Pop!_OS users with improved bandwidth and resource up-time.
• Flatpak Applications - The Pop!_Shop also references Flathub applications hosted on FlatHub.org.
• AppStream Data from Third-party Repositories - Applications will appear in the Pop!_Shop if the user configures third-party repositories in Repoman, and the application provides AppStream metadata to the Pop!_Shop.
