Agree on that one.

That being said, what about allowing users to set this preference by themselves?

I also think that the repository information should also be made more visible;
if a package is available from multiple sources, gnome-software will display
a separate search entry for each of those, which looks very odd from a UX
perspective - I'd expect some kind of match-by-id to be performed and
for duplicated packages to either be merged into a single button,
or to have some additional bit of text on them telling me which one
comes from where.

Btw, shouldn't gnome-sofware pull in PackageKit?
I typically only use dnf, so I installed gnome-software and it was unusable
until I manually installed PackageKit as well.

A.FI.
