I'm not certain but I don't see this topic addressed anywhere else in the forum. So KDE offers a generic gui for software installation and management? This is brilliant! If we could get used to using this gui and make it more powerful then pretty soon it won't matter to most people what type of installer one uses. I'd love to get some feedback on how you think this will benefit KDE...?
Proud to be a user of KDE since version 1.0

Hi,
i think kde has to make it like a store, cause People like Stores and don't linke Packagemanager or Program-manager. It's the same programm but the feeling of the Mainstream-People is completely different. Is muon only in Kubuntu or is it a programm from KDE? I think muon is the right way and each people can install and remove programms. Greeting |

Muon uses KDE libs which makes it running on any Linux distribution.
But it also uses libQApt, which makes it useful only on systems that use apt (Debian-based distributions, like Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Mint etc.).

O.k. so we need an kde spezifik Program that is independet from the pakagemanager. Is something like that existing in other Grafical Guis?

I believe this goal of PackageKit - to provide abstraction level between programmer API and different package managers out there. They definitely support APT and RPM, not sure about others.
If I remember correctly, KDE GUI for PackageKit is called Apper. So, if you want to provide unified package management experience for users of different distributions, then Apper is your best shot at the moment.
Best regards
