I installed CachyOS with Plasma DE and found it has no discover in it. When I searched on their sub lots of people say that one shouldn’t use Discover with any Arch distro as it will break the system. Can anybody clarify why?

Also if I am not supposed to use Discover, can anybody suggest an actual GUI application store? Unlike Octopi (which I consider just as a TUI with check boxes and columns)

Edit: I only use Discover for find and install new apps.

For updating, I just use paru.

        Yeah. Not like this 👇

        My big problem with discover is that it is a vertical layout for something usually horizontally oriented across platforms.

        There are no banners or large graphics on the home page. Nothing that makes you feel like you’re in an overarching meta view of the app and all the apps available to you. Instead the front page is just icons and names, same deal with all the categories. It’s just not easy to use to actually find apps, I guess? It feels too much like a package manager or catalogue metaphor and not enough like being in a marketplace?

        I guess it’s just not easy for some people to understand that not every people like CLI or TUI. 😮‍💨
