Bug ID: 432690
Summary: Stop showing non-appstream packages with the exact
name as the search term
Product: Discover
Version: 5.20.90
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: lei...@leinir.dk
Reporter: n...@kde.org
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Doing this exposes issues especially in Neon, which deliberately hides
Ubuntu-provided software by stripping their appstream data. But a lot of common
software can still be found this way, such as Steam--but Steam from Ubuntu
repos is broken in Neon (Bug 427464).
Ultimately this hidden feature is a hack to work around distros with bad
AppStream metadata, but I think this is not as bad a problem as it used to be,
and users can now get apps from FlatHub or Snap much more easily.
