LLStore is a rewrite on ssWPI but it has many of the features from SetupS built in.
It is also able to function in most Linux Distributions.
This Store only works with Windows 10+ and only on x64 OS's, it has partial support to work on ARM but I currently don't have an ARM PC to test/compile it on to know for sure. The code is available if anybody else want to compile and share with us. It also is meant to support Mac OS's but as I also don't have a modern Mac that supports newer OS's I do not know for sure.
The point of LLStore is to offer a easy way to install Apps and Games on many PC's automated and problem free, with the menus fully sorted and make use of the LL Launcher to make picking a game to play even easier.
The development of LLStore started October 31st 2024 and this first public release was March 18th 2025 - so 4 and a half months (with a couple of weeks off for Christmas), it's 10s of thousands of lines of code and having been tested along the way. I feel it's feature complete enough to use it in your projects, but your always welcome to report any problems or feature requests as you need them.
The Store makes use of online repositories, but you are able to keep the downloaded items on a USB or spare HDD to use on other PC's without having to wait for the internet for some of the larger items - keeping in mind that many of Linux items use existing repositories from each distro and do not have any offline content included. You would be able to make them out of the downloaded .deb or .rpm file, or use appimages etc, but as Linux gets updated a LOT, there isn't a reason to do so. The Games and essential apps are generally offline installs.
The reason I rewrote ssWPI/SetupS and LastOSLInux Store (making it the 5th store of it's kind I've coded, with help from LastOS Team members over the various versions), I found the speed of LastOSLinux Store to be so much faster than ssWPI, but I also couldn't get ssWPI to run very well with Linux Apps, so I wrote LastOSLinux store to provide the same in my first Linux OS Distro I've shared publicly (since 2012). But the Online side of the Linux one was so much more reliable than the old ssWPI Repositories I used to run. So to make it all sane and have all the features I wanted, I had little choice but to start from scratch, while still trying to keep it as backward compatible with existing installs and methods we'd chosen in the past, so you can continue to use existing collections of apps and games with this.

The latest version of the LLStore is available here, but it self updates once you have it installed, it was almost daily while I was developing new features for it, but now it should slow down to only major new releases and bug fixes as required.
To use it in windows simply download the zip file, extract it to the root of a USB or HDD your happy to keep it on (Make sure to make a new folder for it, preferably without a space in it's path) say X:\LL_Store this is the folder name I chose to use on my USB's. You are then able to run it.
To use it on some Linux OS's takes a little more work than on other distro's as they do not allow executing downloaded files without you change them to allowed. To do so, download the zip, extract to your home folder or desktop under (~/LLStore) for example. Then go in to that folder, right click "llstore", chose properties and set "Allow Execute", you then need to go into the tools folder and select all the .sh files and make them executable as well as "7zzs", "tar" and "wget"), to save having to mess about with permissions you can do the following:
Go in to the LL_Store folder, right click "llstore", chose properties and set "Allow Execute", then right click "setup.sh" and set that as executable. Double click on it and chose execute in terminal (or open a terminal to the current location and type "./setup.sh" without the quotes. this will install it and configure everything the way it needs to be, it installs to /LastOS/LLStore/ makes desktop and menu shortcuts to run it and associates itself with the supported file types.
You are then able to run it and use it to install apps, games and tweaks, either local ones you might have or from the repositories.
Once you have your USB disk with it set to Executable it'll then work in Windows or Linux machines without having to do anything extra. You are also able to install it by Pressing Ctrl + T and pick "Install LLStore", this will install it in Windows or Linux (if you have the sudo able password).
I'll edit this post in the future, I just wanted to get it setup ready in case its well adopted
- I can hope.
