    Is there some an app so I don’t have to use the terminal?

      Does it have Discovery as a normal app store? You might be able to use that.

      Honestly, give the terminal a shot - it’s not as complicated as you may think.

      In addition to what other people have said about gdebi, I’m surprised it’s not there by default in Pop. I thought it was there in pretty much all Ubuntu-based distros (except where alternatives are used).

      I totally get not wanting to use the terminal for this purpose. It’s pretty rare that I download and install a .deb, but when I do, it’s nice to just click it straight from the browser and not have to navigate to my download folder in the terminal. And given how rarely I download and install .deb files, I have to look up the command every time.
