What about offering often used Apps via the Deepin Store?

Unreal Engine 4, Unity 3D, Maya, and many other great linux applications are not easily accessible via the Deepin Store.

I think it should be top priority to be able to make them more accessible to users, by trying to make them available via the Deepin Store.

I know about licensing, but maybe install helpers or wrappers can suceed in offering a better experience? Isnt it the same case with the nvidia driver?

What you think about that? Most linux distros fail with that, and I think its a huge mistake to not offer such software via an "offical" way.

Greetings,
Eddy


I also posted this on the google mailing list for developers

Different IntelliJ tools like Idea for C++ , Java, Php and more development (free for students, free to trial) : https://www.jetbrains.com/toolbox/app/ to manaage all apps easy

If you look at all this, maybe its useful to make something like an Education Bundle for Students?
I am sure that may attract a lot of students to Deepin.

thank you

Ok, but what about Unreal Engine 4 or Unity? Houdini is also free if you use it not for commercial work.

Sorry, both Unity 3D and Enreal Engine are in the planning on the shelves now.
