Why does gnome software looks so much smoother of an interface back then. Now the search takes forever and the interface is buggy.

Every time I've ever been aware of a Gnome update is because they changed something they shouldn't have at all or some update caused it to be buggy and slow. A lot of those were recent updates.

Not accurate, firefox comes preinstalled
So many people in the comments are being wooshed.
I’ve got a Steam Deck, and just installed Bazzite onto it, and I’m currently wishing that installing everything was as simple as this. Back when I used Linux daily there wasn’t this whole idea of “rootless” and immutable and sandboxed environments, and just figuring out how to get yad installed for steamtinkerlaunch to work had me faffing about with Nix and Fleek and Distrobox, and they’re all neat if I had the time to learn them but long story short I wish everything was package managers with a simple GUI.
You choose to tinker with your device and are now annoyed that this tinkering isn't straight forward and easy to do? Did you also complain that the custom exhaust system for your car didn't just snap on automatically? ;)

In general I don't like using "store" apps. It's far too trusting for my taste. I go to the source, I don't let somebody curate for me. To do that on linux usually involves using the terminal, which is fine. It's just a little more involved.
I kind of like the workflow on a Windows for installing things better. You enter a site address, download a file (sometimes after scanning it with another website), run the install wizard, you're in.
Definitely not a top concern in any case, these pros and cons are meaningless in the face of choosing security and privileges that come with Linux.
The store is the same packages your distro uses. Unless you're building Linux from scratch?
