Hello Alan,
Not saying a user cannot install deb at all in Ubuntu 24.04.
That is not the point here.
I don't like that the ability to double click to install deb has been removed. It would have been better to provide a workaround (by having gdebi installed by default) if it was technically not possible to handle third party debs by the app store in 24.04.
Imagine suggesting a new user to use terminal or install an app just for installing Google Chrome!
It's FOSS /
