No. It's not. :shock: At least, not if you're running a Puppy. :evil:

It's only for 64-bit systems. Puppies, without first installing major packages, can't use snap packages. 'Ubuntu' & 'Debian' based Puppies can install 'debs'. And all 64-bit Puppies can use 64-bit AppImages. But the AppImage wouldn't start; and decompressing the 'deb' and examining its contents revealed dependencies not built-into the package. Probably the reason the AppImage didn't work. Which means that some Puppy fan would have to repackage it, and include the dependencies; and various Puppies may require different versions of those dependencies. I'm not in the mood.

It would have made more sense if the AppStore could be accessed using a Web-browser. Why create an system supposed to make a user's life easier and not use the easiest way for him/her to make use of that system?

One of the greatest benefits of Unix is the central single secure repo method of software installation. Forego that and you might as well run Windows IMO.
