Bug ID: 445567
Summary: Feature Request: aggregate the snap/flatpak/deb/other
packaging formats of the same app into one single
entry, and then give the option to manually install
any type.
Product: Discover
Version: 5.23.3
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: lei...@leinir.dk
Reporter: random1123581...@protonmail.com
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Currently, different packages of the same app are not grouped, and the ratings
are split between the apps. Also, it is very hard to find a (say) Flatpak
version of a Snap app that was found through the search, if one prefers Flatpak
over Snap. If the apps were grouped into one single entry, then the user
manually choose to install it through apt/flatpak/snap/etc.
There might be problems in terms of (say) the flatpak version being buggy and
the snap version being good, and I don't know how to solve that problem yet,
but this might be worth considering.
I believe the Pop!_OS Shop does this, but I'm not sure.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
n/a
OBSERVED RESULT
It is hard to find apps, and different packages of apps are hard to find if we
prefer one packaging format over the other.
EXPECTED RESULT
It be easier to find the different format packaging for the apps, and also the
ratings be combined so that the apps are more clearly rated rather than it
being split across multiple entries of the same app.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
n/a, but KDE neon 5.23 User
