    Did you decide to use that instead of the normal distro package manager or is there a distro which actually only has pkcon for the CLI?

      Nah, I just wanted to toss it in. I kinda want to get used to it, but I always fall back to the native managers.

      But I was pleasantly surprised by pkcon (through Discover) being able to do proper system updates on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. It used to be discouraged to use it for system updates.

        Ah, fair enough. Yeah, I kind of have the same problem that I forget about it. I have to use Ubuntu at work and APT is confusing in many ways, so I keep meaning to try pkcon instead, but I still have to do so…
