Bug ID: 489441
Summary: [Feature Request] Ability to remove repositories from
Discover without affecting the rest of the system
Classification: Applications
Product: Discover
Version: unspecified
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: ws....@outlook.com
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
On a multi-user system, Discover makes it hard for users to install
applications without stumbling upon system repositories. This takes time to
explain to each user that they can install everything on Discover as long as
they double and triple check if they are using a system repo. This is too
cumbersome.
On OpenSUSE I had to remove PackageKit integration because I do not want other
users having to deal with system packages while using Discover. This
accomplishes what I want in a roundabout way.
What I can't do is remove Flatpaks System Repos from User Repos. See, on a
multi-user system it makes absolute sense for each user to have their own
flahub --user repo, this alongside removing PackageKit means that any user can
simply open Discover and install whatever they want, without EVER being asked
for root.
However, you need to remove the system repo for this to work this seamlessly.
The issue with that, is that there are quite a number of flatpak apps that
everyone on a system will use, it makes sense to install, for instance, VLC as
a system flatpak. However, adding back the system repo through the terminal
will also add it to every user Discover, and that isn't what I wish would
happen.
tl;dr: Wish there was a way to remove system flathub repo from discover without
removing system flathub repo from the system.
