Sounds very reasonable. Qualifying my position: I'm fairly comfortable with yum/dnf group installs now, so this isn't a sticking point for me personally. This really is the Workstation WG's turf to define what kind of UI/UX they want to have for developers new to the platform. And I'm inclined to think keeping developers (even CLI dominant ones) away from the esoterics of platform packaging is a good thing. I don't know if Software will instinctually be their go to for such a thing, so that's also a question someone needs to answer. > Installing a compiler is something that *something* > needs to handle, I'm just not sure if that should be gnome-software > itself or something that *uses* gnome-software to do the correct thing > and to handle updates.
