Hi Zachus

Thanks for your contributions. However please keep in mind that UserBase is not a forum for discussions about software. Please do not use UserBase pages to discuss bugs, request features or express opinions - this also goes for Talk pages! Bugs should be reported to the developers on bugs.kde.org - they are unlikely to be seen by the relevant developers here. Opinions, discussions, critiques and the like should go on a suitable forum like forums.kde.org.

I have deleted your comment on Talk:Discover. You are entitled to your opinion about Discover, but opinions do not belong here. I could not find anything on that page that was inaccurate. However, you are welcome to suggest improvements of the text if I missed something. Claus chr (talk) 07:49, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

it was not just "an opinion". It was a statement of fact.


Well let me rephrase: Your "oinions, discussions, critiques and the like" do not belong here. Discover was never meant to be an alternative to the likes of Synaptic; is is not a manager for apt packages (or rpm's or any other format) but a cross-distro app to allow ordinary users to easily find and install applications.

As to the factfulness of your statement, I think you will find that it rather depends on a particular point of view. If my mother had to deal with the likes of synaptic, she would more likely consider going back to Windows. Discover certainly empowers her even though (or perhaps precisely because) it is not the most powerful package manager. (In fact Discover isn't even a packagemager, it is a software center.)

Still, if you have concrete suggestions to improve Discover by all means make them heard but use the proper channels. To get the attention of the developers, chose an outlet where they might actually see your ideas. UserBase is not the right place.
