Messy sources page
We get a lot of flack online for the Settings/Sources page, and one of the big
reasons I think is the messy presentation. See the attached screenshot. I think
there are a few things we can do here:
1. Don't show the repo URL; it's almost always elided, and it's not needed or
not even useful, because it can't be selected, changed, visited, or interacted
with in any way
2. Improve the presentation of the non-URL part. Especially for Ubuntu-based
distros, the non-URL part is a bunch of technical mumbo-jumbo
("/etc/apt/sources.list.d/neon.list:deb
http://archive.neon.kde.org/dev/unstable neon-xenial-main"). At most, it should
show "neon-xenial-main" instead, which at least is shorter. Even better would
be if we can display an actual description of the repo the way we have for the
Flatpak repos.
3. Add a little bit of side padding to the lists. Not too much, just a little.
We do this for other list views in Discover, and I think it would help here.
4. Rename it from "Settings" to "Sources" because that's all it shows, and then
put the text "Sources" on the top toolbar.
