Opening it with Archive Manager is really confusing. Test Case --------- Download a .deb Open your Downloads folder with the file manager. Double click on the .deb The Ubuntu Software app should open with a button that says Install. More Details ------------ desktop-file-utils provides /etc/gnome/defaults.list In that file, there is this line (and several other lines also referring to the same .desktop) application/vnd.debian.binary-package=snap-store_ubuntu-software- local-file.desktop But when I look at /snap/snap-store/575/usr/share/applications/ there is gnome-software-local-file.desktop which is a different file name. I believe this issue can be fixed in either snap-store or with desktop-file-utils.
