Hi, I'm new to Linux distros and recently switched from Lubuntu to Bodhi Linux, all good but when I download something from the App Center it just says "Do you wish to install firefox?" I gave yes and it said that it was already installed but I didn't see anything, I tried downloading another random program (KTorrent) I gave yes but nothing happens, what solution can my problem have)
(I apologize if the solution is very simple, I'm new to distros and I haven't been using them for a long time)

New install of Bodhi 6.0? Have you ran updates yet? If not, that's important cuz the iso image isn't recent. Open terminology and paste the following:
sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade
You will be asked your password and most likely a couple yes/no questions, for which you should just hit enter or yes. Afterwards if the Bodhi App Center is still not working, as an alternative you could use the gnome app store.
sudo apt install gnome-software --no-install-recommends -y
Then after it has completed, you should find Software in your applications menu, where you could find firefox to install. Or you could install it from command line:
sudo apt install firefox

sudo apt install firefox Thank you very much enigma9o7! I did what you said to install the updates and I was able to install Firefox and other programs! Although I also installed the alternative store that you told me just to test it, seriously thanks
