Summary: Linyaps — an open-source, containerized package management toolkit that isolates applications from the host OS to eliminate dependency conflicts — today released version 3.5 of its desktop store client. The new edition completes a full architectural shift from Tauri to Flutter, delivering pixel-perfect UI consistency across AMD64, ARM64, and the emerging LoongArch (Loong64) architecture. It also introduces a one-click environment initializer and shareable app installation links, directly addressing two long-standing pain points in Linux software deployment.

Full Flutter Migration: Why It Matters

Linyaps Store v3.5 fully rebuilds the client stack on Flutter Desktop, resolving long-standing cross-platform inconsistencies present in previous Tauri-based builds.

  1. Uniform experience across all architectures: Identical UI animations, layouts and functional logic on AMD64, ARM64 and Loong64 hardware, with consistent performance across major Linux distributions including deepin, and Debian.

  2. Boosted runtime performance: Optimized cold boot speeds, smoother page scrolling and more responsive interface interactions.

  3. Streamlined open-source iteration: A single, widely adopted Flutter tech stack simplifies feature development and bug triage, leaving ample room for future functional expansion.

A highlight of this release is native Loong64 support, made possible by community contributor @Guanzi’s open-source Flutter-Dart-loong64 porting project.

User-Facing Improvements for Daily Usage

Focused on eliminating common user frustrations, Linyaps Store v3.5 introduces practical quality-of-life upgrades to simplify sandboxed application deployment, management, and sharing.

1.One-click automated setup, no command-line required:New users no longer need manual terminal configuration. On first launch, the client automatically deploys the complete Linyaps runtime environment. It runs automatic checks for repository status, software source configuration, permissions and data directory integrity. Most detected issues can be fixed in one click, with clear troubleshooting prompts provided.

2.End-to-end link-based app installation & sharing:Web links can directly launch the store and trigger one-click app installation, expanding external distribution channels. New shareable app links allow users to send app detail pages to peers for one-tap installation, simplifying organic community sharing. The revamped download manager supports batch task queuing, adjustable installation priority, delta updates, real-time bandwidth monitoring and persistent installation logs. The client fully complies with the XDG Desktop Specification, automatically generating desktop shortcuts and launch icons for all mainstream desktop environments.

3.Broader hardware compatibility & customizable UI:This update brings enhanced search with fuzzy matching and tag navigation, separated rankings for newly released and trending applications, and expanded homepage recommendations to accelerate app discovery. It adds one-click log export to simplify bug reporting for community support. The lightweight UI refresh includes built-in multi-language switching, custom themes and adjustable font size and weight. A toggleable software rendering mode ensures compatibility with low-end or GPU-less hardware, paired with built-in tools to clear cache and remove unused background services.
