The application installation is not very user-friendly

各位老师，对不起，我是来自中国的用户，没办法使用英文与大家沟通，给大家造成的不方便，非常抱歉！
我今天下载安装了Zorin18，在安装“wps"和”QQ“应用的时候，总是要启动“软件”应用，而我这可能是区域问题，“软件”老是打不开，所以安装应用，会很慢很慢。而"linux Mint"安装应用的时候就很像"Windows"的操作，请问各位老师，是我的操作有问题还是需要进行这个步骤的优化？
Dear teachers, I apologize. I am a user from China and cannot communicate with you in English, I am very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused everyone! Today, I downloaded and installed Zorin 18. When installing the 'wps' and 'QQ' apps, it always requires launching the 'Software' app, but this might be a regional issue, as the 'Software' app keeps failing to open. Therefore, installing applications is very slow. On the other hand, installing applications on 'Linux Mint' is very similar to the operation on 'Windows.' May I ask you, dear teachers, if there is a problem with my operation or if this step needs optimization?

Welcome to the Forum!

Zorin 18 is still a Beta Version and not a final Release. So, it can have Issues.

I want ask for more Details: The Apps wps and qq. You want install them out of ''Software'' or have You download them and You want install them?

If it is the first Thing: Are these Apps Flatpaks, Snaps or .deb/APT Packages?

If it is the second Thing: When You have downloaded them as .deb Files, the Software App opens because it is the Interface for installing the Apps. That is normal. But You can do that another Ways, too.

Install a Program called ''Gdebi''. You can install it with sudo apt install gdebi in the Terminal. When installed, open it and choose the .deb File, You want install.

Or You can install the downloaded .deb File directly in the Terminal. Open the Terminal and navigate to the Directory where Your downloaded File is saved. When it is for Example in the ''Downloads'' Folder type cd Downloads

Then type sudo dpkg -i *.deb for intsalling all .deb Files in the directory or sudo dpkg -i [File-Name].deb for a specific .deb File. Replace [File-Name] with the File Name of the File.

歡迎來到論壇！

Zorin 18 目前仍屬測試版，並非正式發行版本，因此可能存在問題。

我想進一步確認細節：您提及的 wps 和 qq 應用程式，是想透過「軟體中心」安裝，還是已自行下載並欲手動安裝？

若屬前者：這些應用程式是 Flatpak、Snap 格式，還是 .deb/APT 套件？

若是後者：當您下載 .deb 檔案時，系統會自動開啟「軟體」應用程式進行安裝，這是正常行為。但您亦可採用其他方式：

安裝名為「Gdebi」的程式。可在終端機輸入 sudo apt install gdebi 安裝。安裝完成後開啟該程式，選擇欲安裝的 .deb 檔案。

或可直接在終端機安裝下載的 .deb 檔案。開啟終端機並導航至下載檔案所在目錄，例如檔案存於「Downloads」資料夾時輸入 cd Downloads

接著輸入：sudo dpkg -i *.deb 安裝目錄內所有 .deb 檔案或輸入：sudo dpkg -i [檔案名稱].deb 安裝特定 .deb 檔案請將 [檔案名稱] 替換為實際檔案名稱。

Hi, welcome to Zorin OS!

When you run into this error, please run the following command in the terminal:

sudo tail /var/log/syslog

This might show a message pointing to the problem. But it's definitely not something that should be optimized on your end, it should work fine out of the box.

I assume that you are downloading those installers from the web? Have you tried installing something through the software store normally?

嗨,欢迎来到 Zorin OS！
