DISCLAIMER: Arch Linux is not a beginner friendly distribution, and this is not a recommendation or good practice.

I know how to use pacman -S. I have yet to experience a Discover related issue after months of use.

    I get where most comments saying to use pacman or yay but it’s not a good idea to install everything with terminal. Also KDE discover uses flathub and into bazaar is a better client for it.

      Downvotes you already have, so I will restrict myself to explaining:

      • CLI is the only way I’ve ever installed anything in a Linux OS. Has served me well for a decade or more
      • doing stuff without knowing what you are doing is going to land you in a mess, no matter how hard GUI tool devs are trying to prevent that

        Top notch logic here. Driving a car without knowing the inner workings of the car will land you in a mess.

          And it will. Why do you think they explained to me how car works long before I ever sat in a driver’s seat?

        Nothing wrong with CLI, you can use it to install from flathub. I’m saying it’s not a good idea from a security standpoint. Yay uses user repository and pacman has root permissions. For example installing wine with pacman will allow access to the whole disk
