Introduction

Welcome to the Spark App Store! This is an app store designed for Linux users, aiming to solve the problem of dispersed and difficult-to-obtain applications in the Linux ecosystem. No matter what type of Linux distribution you are using, you may find suitable software packages here.

The number of Linux applications is relatively limited, and the availability of Wine software is also quite challenging. Excellent development and tool resources are scattered across various communities and forums, making it difficult for the entire ecosystem to improve comprehensively.

The construction of the ecosystem is not dependent on the isolated efforts of individuals but requires the participation of the entire community. Only when everyone's "sparks" gather together can they ignite a "prairie fire."

To improve this situation, we have launched this app store. We have broadly included various user-demand software packages, gathered high-quality tools, and actively adapted Wine applications, all stored in our software library for easy user access.

Currently supported Linux distributions include:

  • amd64 architecture: deepin 20 / deepin 23 / Ubuntu 20.04 / Ubuntu 22.04 / UOS Home Edition 20
  • arm64 architecture: UOS Professional Edition 1060 / Ubuntu 22.04 / deepin 23
  • loong64 architecture: deepin 23

Special Note: We also support all versions of Ubuntu operating systems higher than Ubuntu 22.04, such as Ubuntu 22.10, 23.04, 23.10, etc.

Important Notice: This software does not provide any form of warranty. If you plan to use it on UOS Professional Edition, please make sure to understand and enable Developer Mode. Make sure you have basic troubleshooting capabilities. It should be clear that we have not conducted extensive testing on the UOS operating system. Therefore, using the Spark client may lead to a series of issues like failed system updates, data loss, etc., all risks to be borne by the user.

Team Collaboration: For detailed documentation related to branch management, please see this link.

We warmly welcome you to join our development team. Whether you want to participate in development or submit applications, you can find your place here to jointly promote the development of the Linux application ecosystem.

Determine your system architecture

Before installing any software, you need to know what architecture your computer runs on (such as x86_64/amd64 or aarch64/arm64).

How to check:

  1. Open a Linux terminal.
  2. Type uname -m or arch and press Enter.

You will see an output, and that's your system architecture.

  • If you see x86_64, your system is AMD64 architecture.
  • If you see aarch64, your system is ARM64 architecture.
