¿Qué es Bazaar?
Bazaar is a lightweight app store built by the Bazaar Contributors. It focuses on Flatpak distribution, allowing users to browse, install, and manage apps from Flathub and other Flatpak repositories. The project is mature enough to handle multiple simultaneous installs and to display app permissions clearly.
The target audience is Linux users who prefer a graphical interface for app discovery, similar to how Windows users use the Microsoft Store or GitHub Desktop for code management.
Compared to Git or GitHub Desktop, Bazaar feels more like an app marketplace than a version‑control tool. It offers a straightforward browsing experience, but lacks the deep code‑management features that Git provides.
Ideal para: Linux users who want a simple way to find and install Flatpak applications without using command‑line tools.

Cómo instalar Bazaar en Linux
flatpak install flathub io.github.kolunmi.BazaarConsejos para usuarios de Windows
If you’re coming from Git or GitHub Desktop, think of Bazaar as a place to find and install applications, not to manage source code. File formats are standard Flatpak bundles (.flatpakref or .appimage). Shortcuts are the same as any GNOME app; you can launch via the Activities overview. Workflow differs: instead of cloning repositories, you install pre‑built binaries, so you won’t edit code directly in Bazaar.

Bazaar: preguntas frecuentes
Does Bazaar support non‑Flatpak apps?
No, Bazaar only handles Flatpak packages. For deb/rpm you’ll need another tool like GNOME Software or apt.
Can I install an app from a custom Flatpak repository?
Yes, add the repository to Flatpak first, then Bazaar will list its apps.
Is there a way to update all installed apps at once?
Bazaar shows available updates in the UI; you can click the update button to refresh all selected apps.
How do I remove an installed app?
Use the "Remove" button in Bazaar, which calls Flatpak to uninstall the bundle.
