Bug ID: 387378
Summary: Suggest KDE equivalents of GNOME software
Product: Discover
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: aleix...@kde.org
Reporter: pointedst...@zoho.com
Target Milestone: ---
Discover's default sort order is RatingCountRole, and GNOME Tweak Tool is
apparently very popular in GNOME-based distros, so it shows up as the second
entry once you click on Applications. But GNOME Tweak Tool totally inapplicable
and inappropriate for 99.9% of Discover users, nearly (if not actually) all of
whom are using Discover on KDE Plasma, not something GNOME-based. There are
many other pieces of GNOME software that feature prominently in Discover, yet
should probably not be recommended because there is a high quality KDE
equivalent:
- Nautilus (Dolphin)
- GNOME Builder (KDevelop)
- Pitivi (Kdenlive)
Not that there's anything wrong with these apps in general, but they're
probably not what a novice KDE Plasma user should be encouraged to install
because they will look weird and bring in a huge number of GTK and GNOME
dependencies that may mess up the system.
Where there is a high-quality KDE equivalent and Discover is being run in
Plasma, we might want to find a way to present that. Perhaps a yellow-colored
bar on top that says something like:
"This app is designed for GNOME desktops. The following app may work better
with your KDE Plasma desktop: [app name]
