🛍️ Discover Bazaar — A Fresh App Store for Flatpaks on Linux
Recently I came across a new Software Center app made specially for Flatpaks and it’s called Bazaar (meaning market).
It’s like a marketplace where you can explore, install, and manage Flatpak applications with a beautiful modern interface.
Bazaar looks and feels quite similar to GNOME Software, but it’s built specifically for Flatpaks. You’ll find featured apps, categories, detailed pages with screenshots, download stats, and even regional download maps!
If an app has add-ons or extensions, Bazaar lets you install those too. Everything you see here comes from Flathub, though Bazaar can also handle other Flatpak repositories you add manually.
It’s open-source, simple, and fast — and it even has a few funny Easter eggs hidden inside 👀
💡 Key Features
--------------------------------------------------------
- Browse and install Flatpak apps from Flathub and other repositories
- Category view, screenshots, licenses, and download statistics
- Map view showing where in the world an app is being downloaded
- Add-on installation for apps like OBS Studio
- Manage installed Flatpaks directly
- Switch themes or accent colors — including multiple Pride flag themes
- A fun “download size” Easter egg 😄
- “Free software only” filter (show only open-source apps)
- Curated tab support for distro-specific app recommendations
🔧 Installation
---------------------------------------------------------
You can install Bazaar directly from Flathub as a Flatpak:
👉 flathub.org/en/apps/io.github.kolunmi.Bazaar
If you’re using KDE Plasma, there’s also a KRunner plugin available here:
🔗 github.com/ublue-os/krunner-bazaar
Official GitHub Repository: github.com/kolunmi/bazaar
