Linux Software Store

A modular, lightweight software store for Linux systems, built with Python, GTK, and WebKit2.

Originally meant for phone-based linux distros.

Features

• Modular Architecture: Clean separation of UI, core logic, and utilities.
• Multi-Package Manager Support: Designed to work with pacman, apt, yum, dnf, and flatpak.
• Modern UI: HTML/CSS/JS frontend rendered via WebKit2 for a responsive and customizable interface.
• Streaming Operations: Real-time progress updates for package installations and updates.
• Privileged Operations: Uses pkexec for secure authentication when root privileges are required.

Structure

• src/main.py: Entry point of the application.
• src/ui/: Contains the UI logic and resources (HTML/CSS).
• src/core/: Core logic for package management and system interactions.
• src/utils/: Helper functions.
