For family I've been pushing Bazaar. Depending on distro, discover can be lacking on integration. Updating some packages but not others. If your distro does flatpak, and it does. It's click bang done most of the time. No PPAs, or several user/community repos to cock you up randomly.

Personally I like native and rolling release. But I've been using Linux for 30 plus years. When you just need it to work and be a relatively recent release. Can't argue with results.

I haven't tried Bazaar

My biggest gripe about it is it uses gtk. Other than that it's fantastic. It's an awesome way to discover and keep your flatpaks up to date.

Honestly in a lot of ways that's kind of what it's like. Discover but woth a central unified Repository for all distros.
