It&#8217;s clean, it&#8217;s simple, and it works on basically every distro you&#8217;ll find. You&#8217;ll find well over 2,800 apps on it, downloaded hundreds of millions of times. Those are great numbers for any app store, but they don&#8217;t necessarily make it better.<\/p>\n<p>Because in the world of Linux, no single program or platform is outright better than its rivals. And when you&#8217;re comparing package managers, Nixpkgs can run circles around the field with its over 140,000 software packages.<\/p>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\">Related<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \">\n<p>\t\t\t5 programs you need to know about as a Linux user<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">Linux is more than a backup OS, and these programs prove it.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-biggest-linux-app-store-you-rsquo-ve-never-used\">\n                        The biggest Linux app store you\u2019ve never used<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"what-nixpkgs-is-and-why-its-package-count-is-absurd\">\n            What Nixpkgs is and why its package count is absurd<br \/>\n    <\/h3>\n<p>                                                                               &#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/found-linux-app-store-nobody-mentions-more-packages-flathub\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I found the Linux app store nobody mentions and it has more packages than Flathub&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":265336,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static0.makeuseofimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/wm\/2026\/06\/nixpkgs-and-flathub-running-together-on-linux-mint.JPG?w=1600&h=900&fit=crop","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[71,110],"class_list":["post-265333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-linux","tag-linux-mint"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265333"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=265333"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265333\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":265337,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265333\/revisions\/265337"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/265336"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=265333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=265333"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=265333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
