GNOME Software como alternativa Linux ao Microsoft Store

Atualizado em

Nossa avaliação

GNOME Software can serve as a practical replacement for the Microsoft Store for users who mainly want a graphical way to browse, install, and update applications on a Linux desktop. It integrates with the system package manager, shows descriptions, screenshots and ratings, and handles updates for both native packages and Flatpaks. It lacks a built‑in commercial marketplace, so users who rely on paid Windows apps or games will need alternative channels. For typical Linux users who consume free and open‑source software, GNOME Software is a solid, low‑maintenance choice.

Abrindo seus arquivos do Microsoft Store

There is no direct way to open or import Microsoft Store package files (APPX/MSIX) on Linux, and GNOME Software does not provide conversion tools. If you need to access content from a Windows Store package, you would have to run it under a Windows compatibility layer such as Wine or use a virtual machine.

Trocando o Microsoft Store pelo GNOME Software, passo a passo

  1. Install GNOME Software from your distribution's repository (e.g., sudo apt install gnome-software).
  2. Enable the Flatpak plugin in GNOME Software if you want access to Flatpak apps.
  3. Add any additional software sources you need via the 'Software & Updates' or GNOME Software plugins.
  4. Search for the Linux equivalents of the Windows apps you used and install them.
  5. Configure automatic updates in GNOME Software settings.
  6. For paid Windows apps, consider alternative Linux versions or run them under Wine/Proton.

Perguntas frequentes

Can GNOME Software install Windows .exe or .msix files?

No. It only handles native Linux packages, Flatpaks, and snaps. Windows binaries must be run through Wine or a VM.

Does GNOME Software support automatic updates for all installed software?

It updates packages managed by the system package manager and Flatpaks; snap updates are handled by snapd, not GNOME Software.

What if I need a paid Windows app that has no Linux alternative?

You will need to keep using the Microsoft Store on Windows, or run the Windows app via Wine, a virtual machine, or a cloud streaming service.
